Why We Shouldn’t Scrap the Electoral College

As the election season approached, New Hampshire won again in the primary president's primary election. Primary elections in other states start in winter and spring

Indeed, according to the same opinion poll, 62% want to change the Constitution and to become the president the most voted candidate in the country. Only 35% of Americans will leave the electoral college. Please do this question, why do not you remove the electoral college?

Before answering this question, please tell me about the electoral college which is the institution that formally elects the president under the Constitution. Each province has the same number of voters as representatives and senators. With this amendment, the District of Columbia voted for the state if it was a state. Currently, most of the 270 electoral candidates will be the president. For the sake of simplicity, candidates who won multiple state votes will vote all elections except Maine State and Nebraska State. Maine State and Nebraska State will appoint several election votes in the constituencies.

Julia Shaw of the Heritage Foundation explained that the election team designed by the founder is not a complicated way to elect the next president.

Electoral colleges hold federalism, encourage candidates to establish national alliance, and issue clear election results. The presidential candidate is required to win simultaneous elections in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Shaw believes that electoral colleges expanded the victory of presidential candidates and produced legitimacy.

In 1992, Bill Clinton did not win a majority vote (only 43%), but he won 70% of the vote. Despite the public opinion vote is near, most of the elections are not completed at the electoral college. For example, in 1960, John F. Kennedy won only 49.7% of the popularity vote, but Nixon's vote was 49.5%. However, compared to 40.8% of Nixon, Kennedy won 56.4% of the vote. Expansion of election voting can strengthen the country behind the new president by giving a halo of justice

What do you think? Do you think the purpose of today's electoral college is the same as the purpose of our founder's father?

The electoral college was attacked. Some people abandon their university and want to pass the rule to decide the position of the president based on the majority vote. In this article we outline the reasons for the electoral college, and those who would like to abolish the electoral college suggest other choices that you do not usually think about.

The vast majority is not guaranteed at the electoral college. If two candidates assign the average of the total number of votes casted (538 electoral votes as of 2009, voting of 269 to 269 respectively), 3 people can elect to election. Three or more candidates got a sufficient election vote to dismiss a majority of the candidates. If the presidential candidate wins the majority of election votes, the decision will be postponed to the US Congress. The House of Representatives elected the president, elected the top three candidates, the Senate elected the vice president among the top two candidates. In the House of Representatives election, each state delegation receives only one vote and most states (26) have to elect president. (In this case, Washington DC will lose the voting rights given to it by the 23rd revision as it does not give the state delegates)

Many people think that electoral colleges are a good way to pick the president. One of the arguments of electoral colleges is that in the absence of electoral colleges, the President will be selected by opinion of the metropolis and densely populated areas. Another argument of the electoral college is that it contributes to a two party system. This is true because it is almost impossible for third party candidates to win if voter ballot is elected president. Voters will be elected according to the delegation of the Legislature. Voters usually promise to vote for party candidates, but they are not required by the Constitution. When Americans voted for President and Vice President, they actually voted for voters who promised their candidates. The elections of each state voted as one unit, the victory president and vice presidential candidate of each state won the state-wide election vote
