Laws Of Voting And Its Effect On The Voting System

The system is obsolete owing to the new methods of research and becoming aware of issues as well as faster sharing of information for the Americans to know any presidential candidate. Besides, United States of America has witnessed growth almost in every aspect of life and has shown the ability to handle new developments articulating the strength of the country to establish and manage a new electoral system. The reality that most of the states do not have laws requiring electors to vote according to the will of their state, the electors are unbound thus the system create the possibility of rogue electors. Also, the system presents a situation where the presidential election winner is determined by the House of Representatives causing disenfranchising a significant number of voters.

The voting process in America appears straightforward, but it is a very complex, complicated system. The Electoral College is America’s current voting system. The Electoral College still serves its intended purpose, but with increasing political activity among Americans it has caused a need to reform this process. Research suggests that the Electoral College system should be amended because it poorly illustrates democracy, is outdated and the majority of Americans are in favor of abolishing the system.

Every time there is an election in the United States, the debate of Electoral College always heats up, and suddenly everybody seems to know about or at least they are interested in learning about it. The Electoral College is firmly established under the United States Constitution to elect the president and the vice president of the United States indirectly. A slate of “electors” are chosen from each state, and they are the ones responsible for voting for president in the general elections depending on which party the candidate is vying with. From this statement, what it means is that one does not choose his or her preferred leader directly and this has made many suggestions that the Electoral College is not a true representation of democracy. This paper will look at the strongest arguments for and against the Electoral College, analyze whether the current Electoral College should be re-engineered or scrapped in favor of direct vote and finally determine if the Electoral College is consistent or contrary to democratic principle.

In this country, we hold elections every four years to select the president. The founding fathers of our country established the electoral college to give the original thirteen states a fair voice in the election process. This country electoral called the electoral college into question on more the one occasion. In the most recent election, President-elect Donald Trump won the electoral vote over Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. This election has sent the country into an uproar and citizens of the United States are now challenging the legitimacy of the electoral college process. This paper will examine whether this process is reliable and valid when choosing the leadership of this country.

As technology has evolved there have become more ways to cast a vote than ever before. Most people are familiar with the traditional way of

Our Founding Fathers’ idea of an Electoral College is not the same as our current Electoral College as amendments have changed their structure and function. Despite the changes and adaptations to our country’s changes, the Electoral College is still the method that selects presidents and vice presidents. Exploration of the structure and function of the Electoral College will provide an opportunity to understand its formation and operation while the debate between the Electoral College and popular vote usage and its effects on election results will provide an understanding of issues and misalignment with the popular vote while the understanding of how an individual’s vote is valued by the Electoral College will provide a clear demonstration that the vote informs the Electoral College for their duties.

It is difficult to completely understand and in a way appreciate what the Electoral College is if you don’t understand it. Therefore, this paper will go in depth as to how the voting process works in the United States, with a main focus on the Electoral College.  I will start by talking about the background, what challenges and problems it was trying to solve, how it came to be and who came up with such idea. Secondly, I would talk about the advantages the Electoral College possesses, such as it keeps small states as viable participants, it maintains division of power and how it’s beneficial to the candidates and their campaign. But as with everything, there are also some disadvantages that come with such, example, ignoring the will of the

In the past, the country men would choose representatives to represent their state for elections. These representatives are called the Electoral College; they vote for whom the majority of the state wants as president. The voting process is the same today, except there is an exceptionally larger amount of people living in the country. Along with more people, the country also has more technology. The increase in technology allows for easier blackmail against a representative, and allows a person the ability to control the representatives’ vote. A representative could also have a façade and vote against what the majority wants. The technology

The present voting process creates great difficulty for people to actually vote. Currently, the government of the United States is democratic republic, this meaning that United States is both Democracy and Republic and people have the privilege to elect officials (“Are We A Democracy or A Republic?”). The voting process consists of registering online or through a registration application (“Registering to Vote). Some Americans do not have the resources or time to fill out an application. In reality, people’s votes do not decide who becomes president, but the electoral college does.

process. However, voting in the 21st century is not as important to people as it was in the past.

Voting to elect government officials is a privilege of a democratic society. Every four years, in one of the most important events in U.S politics, millions of American citizens exercise their voting power by casting a ballot for a presidential candidate. However, these millions of cast votes elect a small group of state representatives known as the Electoral College, not the president of the United States. Under the current voting system the power to elect the president is solely the responsibility of the Electoral College not the people. Although the Electoral College has a rich history, it is an outdated voting system and should be replaced by National Popular Vote.

Every person’s vote should count in America. Electoral College is elected president executive of the United States of America, and his agent, and The United State is the only country with this kind of indirect vote and is documentary in the Constitution. Rather of a direct vote for the president is elected by the vote for the voters of this complex and the latter is the one who chooses who will govern the country.

Every person’s vote should count in America. Some people say that Elector College is the best way to count votes. The Electoral College is a system for elections which decides who will be the president. The United State is the only country with this kind of indirect voting system which written in the Constitution. In America, the candidate wins when he wins the Elector College not the popular vote. The Elector College should change because popular vote does not count, the system is complicated, and many people have stopped voting.

Online voting is another impressive function developed in the framework of eGovernment. The idea of having electronic voting in Estonia gained popularity in 2001. Estonia became the first nation to hold legally binding general elections over the Internet

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.
