 Con The Electoral College should be removed.
1. Introduction
it was orginally invented during the Revolutionary Era of this country. It was invented because we did not have easy communication between the colonies then. Now, we have easier communication.
2. The Electoral College is unfair.
This is shown through the 2000 Presidential Election: George W. Bush vs. Albert Gore. Al Gore recieved a fair amount of votes more than Bush, yet Bush still won becuase he had more elctoral votes.

Con YES! That is my point. (I should have gone pro for this) Besides, the electoral votes are unequally distributed! Pro Why even vote? Our vote really doesn't even count. |
