text: Having a popular vote instead of the electoral college process is a time saver, and helps the people of the country. It allows the people to vote for who they actually want directly, instead of voting for someone to then vote for the president that they want. It would give people a greater influence to vote, knowing that their own vote actually directly affects the outcome of the presidential election. It would potentially eliminate all of the electors, saving time, money, and a vote for the next president of the United States of America.    "Hey Generic_Name, i'm thinking about going to Generic_Name's party tonight even though my parents said I cant, do you think I should go?" asked Generic_Name with a look of curiosity in his eyes. With no hesitation I responded with,"for sure, It will be fun and plus that cute girl from Generic_School is supposed to be there."Okay thanks" said Generic_Name with excitement in his voice. The next day I walk into my first block class and see Generic_Name sitting there with his head on the table." Hey Generic_Name, how was that party last night?" I asked."It was horrible, my parents found out I wasnt home on time so they tracked my phone location, shut the party down, yelled at me in front of everyone, and grounded me for two months." He stated with a angry and sluggish voice." It's all your fault if you would of just told me not to go I wouldnt be in this situation right now." Generic_Name exclaimed. "I'm sorry, next time just ask more than one person for there opinion."I said sincerely."Yeah your right I shouldnt of blamed it on you." he stated. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because it may influence that persons choice, others might look at something in a different perspective then you, and finally others may have more experience in that subject.
