text: Our principal wants us to join extracurricular activities and I think it's a great idea! It can teach new leadership skills, boost creativity, and of course, being more social and making new friends. Having an activity to do is a great way to have fun. What is the electoral college? The electoral college is a process , not a place . If i would have to argue in favor of keeping the Electoral college or changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states , I would have to agree with keeping the Electoral college. I would agree because the Electoral college consists of 538 electors , a majority of 270 is required to elect presidents , and i think that it is a fair amount of people who are required to vote.
