Do you want Congress to pass this Bill?
I wish they would just get out of the way and let this country roll forward. This could be another great American story, The generation that laid the infrastructure that takes America deep into the 21st century. Why can't Republicans put their hangups to the side just long enough to let America do great things again. Believe me Sharing is not that bad, just because you can't rule over America with an Iron fist anymore does not mean we can't be just as great as we were in the past, probably much greater because many brains is better that 1.
Do the events surrounding the Election of 2000 justify changes to the Electoral College? Explain why you thin?
Nope. Gore did not win a mandate in 2000. He had only 48% of the popular vote which is not even considered as a victory. He also lost many critical states which meant that he was not qualified to be president. Clinton also failed to have a majority of the popular vote in 1992. However, he did win a plurality of the states and thus was suited to be president per the Electoral College. The Electoral College is still necessary and efficient form of elections. The origin of the electoral college was rooted in the idea that a presidential candidate must be representative of a plurality of the 50 states, not just a simple majority in some states, which can be have a tendency to be very majority-oriented and therefore tyrannical. The Electoral College protects multiple interests. Otherwise, the majority would always win, and dominate policy. That's not a true united states. See, the electoral college protects the smaller states from becoming totally irrelevant and practically voiceless. It reweighs some individual votes, and you may somehow feel that votes have been compromised, unfairly. But think about some consequences of a popular vote as well. In effect, a popular vote could be manipulated by a few large areas of population. In our current system, the presidential candidate has to campaign to a majority-if not all 50- states, including measly Ohio. If they only could pander to certain most popular interests alone, their policies could all be very anti environment, anti farmer, anti business, anti labor, or whatever other minorities that the simple majority is capable of making irrelevant to their winning candidate! The electoral college protects minority states interests from being bullied by the large states. Small states have been granted access to the process of democracy that they could otherwise be completely excluded from under a popular vote simple majority dictatorship. A popular election is hardly ever truly a level contest because the minority interests, no matter how valid they be, will always lose. Unfair dictatorships could result whereby the majority party could answer to no one, perhaps even wreck the country.
