text: In conclusion studying Venus would be a benefit for us. If atronomers are right that Venus is a look alike to Earth. We can get materials that we need or learn how to use new material that we find there. With the help of NASA making new materials and ways to get there. Atronomers can get there in no time. So to start here is a letter to my state senator, in which I argue in favor of keeping the electoral college or changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states. The electoral college is a process, not a place. The electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors. The electoral college consists of 538 electors. In the 23 Amendment of the constitution, the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated  like a state for purposes of the electoral college. For this reason, in the following discussion, the word "state" also refers to the district of columbia. Next, each canidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors.
