Question 16 : I believe that the Electoral College should stay the same since voters are typically more educated on political issues and political candidates compared to the average population. This idea is based on the assumption that those voters are often political insiders, have a deeper understanding of the political landscape, and are therefore better equipped or more knowledgeable to make informed decisions. The decision to keep or eliminate the Electoral College involves analyzing essential aspects such as the pros and cons to better determine which decision is best. Ultimately, the Electoral College ensures that voter bribery and election malpractices are eliminated or reduced. It can also enhance democracy across the country. Question 22: One benefit of allowing prisoners to vote is that it upholds the democratic principle of universal suffrage. This means that every citizen, regardless of their status or past actions, has a right to participate in the political process. It can also aid in the rehabilitation process, as it encourages prisoners to stay informed about societal issues and feel like they are still part of the community. A potential drawback to this is that some individuals believe that committing a crime severe enough to warrant imprisonment should result in the loss of certain rights, including the right to vote. Some may say that allowing prisoners to vote could potentially lead to the election of candidates who are more lenient on crime. Whether more states should follow Maine and Vermont in letting prisoners vote is a subjective question and depends on one's perspective. Those who believe in rehabilitation and universal suffrage might argue in favor, while those who believe in punitive justice and the loss of certain rights as a consequence of criminal behavior might argue against it.
