text: This debate is able to go either way because if winning was based on popularity then one candidate would win but the loosing candidates supporters blaim it on the Electoral College, but on the other hand, if Electoral Colleges were banned, then the another candicate would win and the loosing candidates supporters would blame it on elections being based on popularity vote. It is unfair in the loosing team's side so in other words elections are all unfair. For example, "Back in 1960, segregationist in the Louisiana legistlature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. (So that a popular vote would have not actually gone to Kennedy.)(2)." This shows that people where desperate for wins and were against popular vote.                  With conditions far harsher than on Earth and anything humans have expirenced, one the closes planet to Earth, Venus is increadibly inhosbitable. Dispite those facts scientists are still fascinated by the planet do to it's increadible similarity to Earth, but the conditions have prevented scientists from investigating throughly. With all spacecraft sent to Venus being destroyed it is a suprise that we are still trying to study this planet, and the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" gives very little insight into why scientists are still attempting to study the planet.
