electoral college
I agree with the electoral college system we have in place. Although it seems like it would be easier to just vote directly for a president that's not always the case. A lot more people would try and elect someone like Mickey Mouse if we didn't have this system in place. The electoral college makes sure that won't happen and they will always vote for the popular vote anyway. Also, if there is a recount needed it would be too hard to perform that if there wasn't the electoral college. The electoral college is a great thing and it would be pointless to get rid of it.

Ciar, I'm surprised you agree with the electoral college because we both know you'd be one to vote for mickey mouse. Also I'm surprised you finally learned what the electoral college actually is because a couple days ago, you said that's where you're going to college.
Let's make sure that our comments are legitimately related to the blog topic and not just a way to make jokes with our classmates.
I agree with you that we should keep the Electoral College in place. It is a system that has worked in the US for many years, and has helped assure that a good candidate is elected as president. This way we know that Mickey Mouse won't be elected. Some people argue that their votes don't directly count, but their votes are what decide how the Electoral College decides to cast their votes, which is just as important. It's basically a check and balance between the government and the people.
