Homework #2 (MP2)

The Electoral College is a parody. Before, people could not be informed about the candidates enough to be educated in a vote, so the popular vote for president doesn't mean anything right now. we need to abolish that, and base the whole system on the Popular vote, so we can truly have a government by the people.
The electoral College is basically the reason for our votes, technically, not counting. when we vote for the president, we are also voting for state electors as well. How every many electors get appointed for state depends on the population. Once we select them, they then decide on who to select for the president. So while our votes may have somewhat of an effect on the decision. It still doesn't really count. And to me this seems pretty unfair. Reason being i rather my vote literally count for the choosing of the president. Not for people who will choose for the state as a whole.
