text: In summation, the Electoral College has been around for hundreds of years, but it is time that the United States makes the change that would improve the way of electing its future Presidents. The Electoral College is outdated and complicated, does not allow the voice of the people to be heard, and leads to uneccessary voting complications. For these reasons, I vehemently feel that we should switch from the Electoral College to election by popular vote.            The opportunity to further an education should always be taken advantage of. The use of distance learning can allow a student to learn what may be necessary at a time and place comfortable for them. Distance learning allows for a better understanding of a lesson or subject and creates a comfortable work environment. If used in a positive way, it can start a major change in students grades and overall performance by giving them a form of learning outside of a normal classroom.
