text: In summation, popular votes, though time consuming, are a better way of electing a new president; instead of electoral votes. Electoral votes are an easier and faster means of counting votes but, popular votes show and acount for everybody that contributes to the poll and/or election. Using popular votes will most likely make more people want to vote, since they can see the amount of voters instead of the number of regions through out the country.    Screaming and the sounds of objects shattering is what Generic_Name hears on a daily basis in her house. Usually its because of a small disagreement between her parents and gradually gets more intense but recently its been because of her. Generic_Name and Generic_Name are getting a divorce and have recently been arguing about who was going to keep Generic_Name because nobody wanted the responsibility. Since Generic_Name is 13 years old, she has the option of either staying with one of her parents or being put up for adoption. She wakes up one morning for school, trying not to make a sound because she doesnt want her parents waking up and starting her day of with screaming. When she manages to get out the house she puts a fake smile on and carries on her day. Throughout it, she asks her best friend, who was the only one who new about the situation, for her opinion on it. Generic_Name gives her thoughts but doesnt seem to care much about it. Generic_Name doesnt bother asking anybody else. Seeking multiple opinions when asking for advice can make a better choice because someone might have asked for the same advice before, there might be someone with more knowledge about it, and there is less stress on yourself on making a decision all on your own.
