In the 2016 election there was an increased amount of citizens that have realized that the current voting method we are using is unfair because not everyone’s vote is being counted due to them being minorities within the states that are already spoken for. However in the past, a couple of states have already done this and modified the method in a way that makes every vote count because equality is what our country stands for. By using the Congressional District Method instead of the current electoral college, it increases the chances we have in including everyone's vote. Many people are against changing the electoral college and believe that keeping it as it is is the best method we could use because they are afraid of change; however this

Voter suppression happens everywhere around the world. As an immigrant this topic seemed so interesting because I always thought of voter suppression as something that may just happen in a third world country. In a dictatorship country government is not afraid to let the nation know that although there is a voting but ultimately they are the ones who decide the fate of everyone. After watching the videos and reading the assignments I realized that voter suppression/fraud can happen in many shapes and forms. It could be done without any physical violence or any obvious act but it still can do the same amount of damage to a nation. Voter suppression in a nation like America that is supposedly one the freest countries politically has to happen a lot smoother and a lot less obvious that one in a dictatorship kind of government.

I think voting should be done via EVMs in the following essay I will tell you why, and also tell you how to fix some of the problems that voters may have with EVMs.The first and one of the most valueable assetts provided by EVMs is it's ability to provide ballots in different languages.A voter in which english isn't thier first language is less likely to go out and vote due to a fear of not understanding what they are voting for which is why a machine that provides ballots in an array of languages will most likely improve the number of voters.Paper ballots come in only 4 languages this is due to high printing cost with the EVM you save the printing cost and provide accessibility to ESOL voters.A second benefit to the EVMs is easy access to

As a citizens in the US, as soon as we turn eighteen we have the right to vote, this means we have a say in who represents us in government and whether certain issues are passed or not. We can vote in both local and national elections ranging from who’s on our school board to whom the president will be. Since this is America, we are free to complain about how the USA is today, but do we do anything to change it? Most of the USA does not actually do anything, in our generation the USA has seen the lowest voter turnout since World War 2. Some people will complain that their vote does not count but in reality it does, the local elections are based solely on the majority of the people, and in national elections the elected representatives of

Although EVMs (electronic voting machines)provide qualties of convience,security, modern technology, and etc., it will not make citiznes vote. "They help more people vote more easily." (Line 1) This satement is not only inaccurate, but an excuse made for people who do not realize the power and priveldge it is to be able to vote.

In 2000 Riverside County California decided to spend 14 million dollars to make their voting system all electronic. This decision was made on the basis that in 1998 more than one million dollars was spent on paper ballots (in Riverside), but when only half of the county voted the extras had to be trashed. For local elections their new electronic system fetched a 99% approval rating from voters (Wired.com article). The only foreseeable downside to this technology is the start up price and with internet voting not likely due to security issues, this maybe the best solution.

The topic of the United States of America and the broken voting systems within is quite an extensive one, as well as one that deserves to be covered in much more depth and detail than a simple essay/speech can give. Although, on that note, I shall attempt to consolidate and deliver some of the many details on why this system is so broken, as well as why it should be fixed, and some proposed ways of doing so. First, I shall cover the topic of why the system doesn’t work and the many flaws that riddle the topic. Soon following, I shall describe to you some of the many proposed methods to fixing the issues.

Fair Vote, a nonprofit organization that leads the fight for electoral reform in the U.S., points out: “The right to vote is the foundation of any democracy. Yet most Americans do not realize that we do not have a constitutionally protected right to vote. While there are amendments to the U.S. Constitution that prohibit discrimination based on race (15th), sex (19th) and age (26th), no affirmative right to vote exists. And that’s just the beginning. While the Voting Rights Act eliminated overt disenfranchisement based on racial discrimination, state governments retain many tools that state politicians can use to disfranchise citizens, not only in state and local elections but also in federal elections. Among these tools are onerous voter registration

As a reader of this passage i believe that Electronic voting machine should be used.The reason why i believe that electronic voting machines should be used is because they help with peolple being able to vote easily just within different ages ,physical ability and disabilities as well. In the pasage i read it also says that without EVMs many voters who arent able to to read or understand English well have to ask for help. Which makes privacy very impossible . IS it trouble to use ? If you ask me in the passage it says 97% say its no trouble to use.Meaning only 3% thinks it is but 97% is still a high portain to think its easy to use.I personally think its a good thing to use with the facts an evidence they gave me this passage that i had looked

In a time when electronics are crutial to everyday life in America the use of electronic voting machines is the obvious choice. EVMs while not as simple as marking a paper ballot are simple to understand and easy to explain for those few that may have trouble. The majority of redgistered voters of all ages and walks of life have been recorded as having no problem casting thier vote on an EVM. Voters with disabilities such as vision imparement and trouble standing have all been concidered and have been given the tools needed to vote with EVMs where they may ha ve had trouble before, such as a vocal option to speak to the person if he or she is visually impared and may have needed the help of another person in years priror.

EVM's are just as costly, if not more than traditional methods of voting. So, even with some Americans finding EVM's easy to use. The others who would normally have trouble using computers had trouble using EVM's. A staggering 32% of Americans from ages 59 and older were actually comfortable using the EVM's. Forcing half of the polling states using them to seitch back to paper balloting.

There are many controversial topics in this politically correct world. There are topics about morals, standards, and personal ethics. One of the newest debatable subjects however, is the one concerning this new centuries way of casting an individual’s vote, through electronic voting. Electronic voting is a way to cast a person’s ballot using an electronic voting machine that is touch screen. There are many advantages to using these machines during an election but there are also many disadvantages to using them as well. Before a person can make their own judgments on this subject it is important to understand and view both sides of the argument.

A voting system has four characteristics: accuracy, anonymity, scalability, and speed. Current electronic voting machines claim to
