text: Popular votes are collected from the people of the United States. With stating this, "over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." This is because voters will be able to have only their votes taken into consideration. For example, the President of the United States is the offical who sends people to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran to fight for our country. These people vote for the elector they want to send them over seas instead of the politicians in the electoral college system voting for who they want to be the president. There are only 538 electors to vote for the elector they desire and that is still more important than the millions of people that vote. "We are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is a part of the Declaration of Independence and the right of liberty involves our right as people to vote.
