What political principle does George Edwards say the Electoral College violates? How, according to Edwards, does it violate that principle?

# data[].attributes.body
George Edwards says the Electoral College violates political equality. According to Edwards it is violated because it is not a neutral counting device since it favors some citizens over others.

Smaller states like Alaska and Delaware only have 3 votes while states with a bigger population like Hawaii has 4 or Illinois has 20.

# data[].attributes.body
The votes are according to population

# data[].attributes.body
It isn't fair to the smaller states because they basically have less votes going for them while states with a larger population have more votes so therefore  it isn't equal.

Which has the larger population? Which has more electoral votes?

Which has the larger population? Which has more electoral votes?

# data[].attributes.body
Illinois has a larger population than the other 12 states combined. But it was 24 less electoral votes that the other states combined.

# data[].attributes.body
No this isn't fair because Illinois on its own has 20 electoral votes and the small states have like 3 or 4 votes each so its not fair.

How does the chart illustrate Edward's point about political equality?

# data[].attributes.body
There is no equality for the amount of votes each states get because the smaller states get less votes while bigger states get more votes

# data[].attributes.body
It is not fair to the smaller states that have very little say compared to the bigger states.

It isn’t fair but they have a system which besides that works fine

Should the electoral college be abolished?

Should the electoral college be abolished? 

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that it should be abolished. I think it should be abolished because its not fair for the little states. The little states have less population so therefore they will have less electoral votes. So I think its not fair for them.

# data[].attributes.body
The states that have less than 1,000 population only have 3 electoral votes, and the population with more than 1,00 have 4 electoral votes. Illinois population for example has 12,830,632 and has 20 electoral votes.

# data[].attributes.body
We believe they should just be equal with everyone and do something with the smaller states maybe by combining the votes of other states or something.

Supporting evidence to Abolish Electoral College

# data[].attributes.body
Some evidence to abolish the electoral college is that its not fair. It doesn't give people their equal rights.

# data[].attributes.body
We think they should abolish the electoral college because that way its equal with everyone. They should at least double the number of electoral votes for the small states to make it somewhat equal.

# data[].attributes.body
We think all states should have the same amount of
votes
