Electoral College

I think we should keep the Electoral College just to be safe. Although a lot of people in the United States vote intelligently basing their decision on their beliefs, there are some people who cast uneducated votes like "Mickey Mouse" for example. This may not be a huge concern, but we should be safe rather than sorry when we are choosing the people who run our country. While the electoral college doesn't do much, they create a safety for the state's overall vote and finalize everything.

Good job, Kara. Is there any other way that we can stop voters from being irresponsible?

I think Kara's right. I mean if there's a shot that can prevent you from getting sick, you'de take it. So if there is an electoral college that can prevent people from acting like clowns then why would you want to change that.

I agree with you Kara. I think the Electoral college is like a safety net for the votes of the people and it is good for us to have it so we don't end up with people electing a president like "Mickey Mouse" just becasue they think it's funny.
