text: The final reason we should get rid of this system is because at this point in time we are not even vothing for our presidents we are voting for people who vote for us. What i mean is "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Americans have always wanted to be in power and have a say in what we do but in the case of voting we do not. By doing this we are allowing the government to make all of the decisions for us, as if we were children. When you turn to the legal age for vothing your vote should count. With this majority does not rule, for instance say our votes of 46 percent and 54 percent were to come in. The man of the 46 percent still has a chance of winning when the people had already voted. The problem with that is at that point the peoples word goes out the window, and the government once again jumps in demanding that they choose.
