text: In most states texting and driving is illegal but people don't care and continue doing it. If you are caught by the police using your mobile device and obtaining a vehicle at the same time, most likely you're going to get a couple hundred dollars fine. Looking at a message that says "ok" isn't worth getting in trouble with the law.                                            I argue in favor of keeping the electoral college because of the fact that if the popular vote and the vote in congress were to fail, there would be a backup way of casting, counting and recording votes by a qualified group of citizens, as stated in the first paragraph of the prompt. I believe the Electoral College should not be abolished also, for the reason that each candidate for president has an amount of electors chosen, varying on the state laws in effect in the given state he or she is being elected from. Also, an advantage of the Electoral College is also that the winning presidential candidate is awarded all of the electors in most states, except Maine and Nebraska, stated in the seventh paragraph.
