The Electoral College

I think it's important for the United States to keep their system of the Electoral College in the Presidental election. Without this system, there's no way to ensure that our government will be under good hands. We need people in a higher political position to manage and maintain the structure of our government. With the winner-take-all idea, the electoral votes are representing the popular vote in each state. In other words, if just the state was holding an election, this person would win anyways. Each state gets equal representation in the Electoral College, so I think that it is important that we keep this system to ensure the strength of our government.

I agree with ashley completely on this. This way has worked for many years now and has not proven unsuccessful. it is more beneficial to have intellectual politicians vote for our president than every other u.s citizen vote directly for our president. this way our country has the right person in control.
