If You Had To Choose... by Kirstin Self https://padlet.com/kirstin_self/huzinaeki1dayviu Do you think the Electoral College is useful? What are some improvements that could be made? en-us 2020-11-03 03:41:13 UTC 2020-11-06 21:53:05 UTC hello@padlet.com I think that the Electoral collage is useless. It makes no sense to add an unnecessary complication instead of counting what the majority of the votes are, if the people vote a majority then why vote for something different? filinamm000 https://padlet.com/kirstin_self/huzinaeki1dayviu/wish/886439804 2020-11-03 14:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kirstin_self/huzinaeki1dayviu/wish/886439804 https://padlet.com/kirstin_self/huzinaeki1dayviu/wish/886443901 I think that the Electoral College is useful because I feel like the states with a higher population should count for more of the votes.

Only because, if one already won then why do they need to vote for the one that already won it just makes things harder for the people counting.
