While I agree with the fact that the electoral college has too much power over the voting, I feel that it shouldn't be abolished as it does carry some benefits. The electoral college helps us to see the insight of the government on who they believe should be in charge of our country. However, they do seem to carry more power than the voters, which I believe should be changed, as otherwise, voting is rendered pointless. Another thing I should point out, is that some states have more representatives than others. In my opinion, each state should be given equal representation in the electoral college if it were to stay

Ethan Bohlen, The electoral collage should be kept because it has been like that for years and it has worked just fine we have gotten this far so wh abolish it, it has worked for so long that there would be absolutely no reason to change it or abolish it.

Austin Garriott, I don't think that it can even stay the same without everything being ruined. Times have changed a lot since it was made and I think by the time you are allowed to vote you will be smart enough to make your own decisions along with everyone else. If we don't change it at all then we won't have enough power to even say who our president is.

The Electoral College is a system that has worked for hundreds of years and should stay. The reason why it should stay is because larger states get more votes based on population and smaller states get less votes based on population. The smaller populated states still get a say in the election. Some might say that that "The Winner takes all" is not fair, but it is because some political party is the majority of the state and should represent the entire state. Another may say that voting for electors(people who vote for president) isn't representing the people. It is because your voting for the electors who end up voting for who you want.These are just a few reasons why the electoral college should stay for many years to come.

The popular voting gives smaller states a chance to have an impact on the outcome of the results. The Electoral College system prevents this because larger states will have a bigger impact based on population, so it wouldn't be fair to states like New Hampshire or Rhode Island with smaller populations.

Disagree:3: I don't think the Electoral College should be abolished completley because it has made voting easier, but I think a few things need to be modified.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with number 2 because, yes the Electoral College has some good parts, like it makes voting equal, but it could affect the outcome of the vote. If one candidates has a higher voting pole  or most of the popular votes, the Electoral College could change that entire pole.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with number two. If something like the Electoral College has worked all this time then it obviously is a good thing for our use.But we could also live with out it you know what i mean.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with number two the most, its not all bad for the country, and some of it could be taken to remake a newer electoral college with the same idea. Minorities do need to be represented better though, because multiple minorities make up a number of the population

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with number 1 because the electoral college is a fast paced way of voting that is much simpler than just taking a popular vote.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly think the electoral college should be changed entirely, but still support minorities. Just the problem is the small states getting more  power and we only vote for electors and they vote for the president candidates.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally agree with taking away the electoral college but not fully. A reason that supports this is because of unfair treatment. The people of Puerto Rico ,Guam,The US virgin islands and America Samoa are all american citizens. they should have a right to vote.All together they have up to 4 million votes.

# data[].attributes.body
we shouldnt keep the college like it is right now though, its outdated and not equal to what we have formed now, 200+ years later

# data[].attributes.body
I think the current Electoral College is okay, but the popular vote should have more impact in an election.

# data[].attributes.body
The Electoral College needs to be abolished due to the fact that the opinion of the people doesn't matter because the Electoral College is what really decides the result of an election.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is fine, but I believe that the people should have a better say in our president, the election should be on popular vote. So that we get the person we want.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with number two. I think the voting should stay the same because it's not as time consuming, but we shouldn't give as much power the electoral voters.

# data[].attributes.body
The electoral collage should be a little bit more different because the winner take all system makes it to where the people who didn't vote the majoity wont have a say

# data[].attributes.body
The electoral college should not be completely abolished because if we didn't have it elections would take up way to much time.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the people should be the ones to elect a new president because they're the ones that make the country

# data[].attributes.body
i believe there could be things we could do to make it better and stronger but i don't believe this will be something to happen in the new future with all the problems we are dealing with at this point in time.

# data[].attributes.body
The Electoral college need to change the votes for the third party just in case a third party shows up so that way every candidate can get a fair amount of.
Also they need to include the sections in the U.S. so they get a say in who they want in the government.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Electoral College should stay but the winner take all system should be abolished.

# data[].attributes.body
The electoal college is good for the usa buddy, and if you dont think that then your going to get bopped!!

# data[].attributes.body
The winner take all system needs to be changed. It's not that fair.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the electoral college is okay, but the way it can change the whole election thing should be changed because it changes the popular vote of the citizens

I believe that the electoral college has flaws but for the most part keeps the na

Ethan Bohlen, The electoral collage should be kept because it has been like that for years and it has worked just fine we have gotten this far so wh abolish it, it has worked for so long that there would be absolutely no reason to change it or abolish it.

Anonymous 1d
Austin Garriott, I don't think that it can even stay the same without everything being ruined. Times have changed a lot since it was made and I think by the time you are allowed to vote you will be smart enough to make your own decisions along with everyone else. If we don't change it at all then we won't have enough power to even say who our president is.

While I agree with the fact that the electoral college has too much power over the voting, I feel that it shouldn't be abolished as it does carry some benefits. The electoral college helps us to see the insight of the government on who they believe should be in charge of our country. However, they do seem to carry more power than the voters, which I believe should be changed, as otherwise, voting is rendered pointless. Another thing I should point out, is that some states have more representatives than others. In my opinion, each state should be given equal representation in the electoral college if it were to stay
