text: I also believe that the Electoral College will do and has done what is right for the United States. If we did change the election to popular vote then I garentee there would be more conflict and the country would start to fall apart. Honestly though, the legal voting age is 18, and teachers, parents, peers, and even commercials are encouraging them to vote, at 18 you may be a legal adult, but in reality most 18 year olds are still in High School or just getting out of. With all the influence and responsibility going to there heads these "adults" are obviously going to vote as soon as possible. Not even just 18 year olds, but also actual adults will vote just to vote. Now, tell me this, do you really want the leader of your country chosen by the people? It's a natural thing that people will pick someone just because of there skin color or religion, people judge by instinct, I know I wouldn't want the president to be chosen just because if he was Catholic or Christian.
