There are three main reasons why I think the Electoral College method of voting for president should be abolished: 1. Because the current system can't keep up with population shifts, not everyone's vote counts equally. It's not 'one person-one vote.' It would be interesting to take the number of votes per state, the number of representatives at the Electoral College and see how much each individual's vote was actually worth. If I do this, I'll let you know what the results are. 2. Rather than the current state-run elections, I'd rather have this one election be a federal election, where uniform ballots were used throughout the country. 3. Now, candidates campaign according to state, with some states getting lots of attention and others being practically ignored. I believe a popular vote might result in more uniform information in terms of time and content being delivered by the candidates. And yet, I don't think the system will change for two reasons: 1. Power. (the current setup galvanizes the two-party system and neither party would be willing to compormise the stronghold they have on the process) 2. Money (it would be expensive to implement the changes) thanks for listening lots of love Anne
