Election+Reform

__**Election Reform:**__ Currently, we believe that elections have only one large problem that needs to be reformed, the electoral college. We will get rid of the electoral college and establish a public popular vote for as to who will be the president.


 * The electoral college was established while America was still developing and so now it has become seriously outdated and in need of reform.
 * The reason for the electoral college was that the constitutional convention thought that if it were a popular vote, people would just choose the candidate from their state, or their region
 * As well, they thought that presidential campaigns would not be easily broadcasted across the nation (due to a lack of transportation at that time) so they thought it would be a good idea to have wise people from each state be elected (multiple reps. from each state based on pop.) to elect a president
 * Nowadays, the public can easily view presidential campaigns and debates from their couch and can just drive a few blocks to vote
 * Because of this we should eliminate the electoral college and just have a public popular vote as to who should lead our nation
 * This would further empower the people of America to have a say in who the leader of the government is
