Yes. I think…
I was very skeptical about the Electoral College, and maybe I still am. But I think I still, one day, have a say in who will be the future president. I feel like our country is deathly afraid of corruption, and we created the EC to make everyone feel a little safer. It helps reduce the risk of botching the votes or rigging the results.(I watch Scandal...can you tell?) The EC is like a filter. All the votes get dropped into a river and that river flows and pick ups more votes and the EC is like a filter that categorizes how many votes a candidate got and whether the electors go blue or red go to the Pond of Freedom. So, the EC is like a thing that sorts data and answers the big question: Pie...or cake..? Oh, and that one other important question: who is going to be the next president? So yeah, in my opinion, the EC is fair and democratic...as far as I know...for now…
The EC is kind of cool if you think about it. It’s a really good idea and it’s pretty finely tuned. And it gets the job done. Time and time again it proves itself to be accurate. The EC vote has been different from the popular vote twice. Not too bad. If the fact the U.S.’s very core is democracy, defined as fair and frequent elections, then it makes sense that the elections need to be accurate and fair. Hats off to the Founding Fathers for the EC. God bless elections...I mean, America...
