text: In conclusion, I strongly feel that we need to change to an election by popular vote.  Above all, it is more fair to the people.  Citizens would feel that their votes matter more than they do now.  People wouldn't have to be worried about if the electors would flip on what they had voted for.  Although some say its is absolutely fair throughout all the states, there are still the set backs that come along with keeping an Electoral College.  I agree with former presidents, Nixon and Carter, that we need to abolish the Electoral College.  All of these reasons show you the problems there are with the current system of electing our President and I know you will agree.    What is your point of view on this argument that we are discussing today here in the Sunshine State? The Florida Senator should consider keeping the Electoral College voting system to choose our President because the founding fathers of the United States established this system. The popular vote is terrible because in some cases it might be teens or young people that don't know about poltics or what they want to give to this country or state. They vote on the things that interest them, not the country. When you vote for anything, your main pryority is "Does this make the country a better place and will bring more benefits to the people in this country or state"?
