text: The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe. Candidates dont spend much time in states they know they have no chance of winning. During the campaign in 2000, 17 states didnt see the candidates at all, and voters didnt get to see a campaign ad. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly without much basis in reality. Abolish the electoral college!    One of the brightest points of light in the night sky is the "Evening Star' which is also a close planet to us called Venus. Venus might seem harmless and pretty from a distance but when you get close it can be really dangerous. The conditions of Venus are hazardous to us. In fact we have had past missions that were never recorded becuase not a single mission succeded. However, NASA is trying to come up with technology that can survive these conditions so we can study Venus.
