Popular Vote Should Replace Electoral Vote

:D I thank CON for her quick response.CON asks "Wouldn't you agree that having your voice heard through the senate would make your vote less chaotic and more balanced?"1) Not necessarily... Senators don't always fully represent what you want, but rather what they believe you want. In the electoral college, its a winner-take-all system. This means that if you are a part of the minority in a state (ex. Democrat in a Republican state), your vote won't count towards anything, as all of the Electoral Votes goes to whoever wins in that state. Your voice wouldn't be heard.2) I fail to see how, in any way, would a vote be "chaotic" or "unbalanced". Your vote is your vote....There aren't many characteristics to a vote.Con says "Don't you want balance between large and small states?"1) Don't you want candidates to campaign in all states, instead of the few closely divided ones? A handful of closely divided battleground states get disproportionate attention from presidential candidates.She writes "Wouldn't you want recounts confined to a few states and not the whole country?" 1) Computerized voting systems are operational.2) With the newer, fully computerized voting systems, including optical scan and direct recording electronic systems, the vote totals may be transmitted automatically to the central counting facility.3) Recounts shouldn't stop are government from doing its job.Con says "Where would the justification be in spending over 2 billion dollars per candidate just for campaigning?"1) She presents no evidence for this "2 billion" figure.2) Spending limits exist to make sure rich candidates don't have an advantage over poorer candidates. http://www.fec.gov...If everyone has the same budget per state, everyone would be at the same disadvantage. Now if everyone was at the same 'disadvantage', it wouldn't truly be a 'disadvantage'. http://dictionary.reference.com... Con says "Electoral vote provides organization, wouldn't you agree that order is needed for everything?"1) She doesn't explain how the Electoral College provides any 'organization' or why it's true. 2) Sure, order is ideal, but wouldn't a popular vote system have 'order' too?Con says "Electoral vote allows smaller states with a smaller population to have an equal pull to a larger state. Does popular vote allow this or any kind of balance?"1) Through Electoral Vote, the minorities in any state won't have any voice in who becomes president. Why? Because no matter who they vote for, all of the electoral votes will still go to the majority's choice. This decreases and discourages voters.2) In popular vote, I don't see how any boundaries will be drawn between states. A democrat vote in a Republican state will have the exact same affect as a democrat vote in a Democrat state. All votes would be equal, and no one would be discouraged.3) Everyone will have the power or ability to decide an outcome through popular vote. One of the definitions of balance is the power or ability to decide an outcome by throwing one's strength, influence, support, or the like, to one side or the other. Needless to say, popular vote can allow the existence of 'balance'. http://dictionary.reference.com...==Questions== If constantly, the majority of America pushes for a popular vote system, why should the government continue to ignore them? Why should our voting system discriminate against candidates who have a broad-based support? Popular vote would encourage more voters, as everyone's vote will have the same affect and importance. Does the electoral college present the same benefit? Through the electoral college, the majority can actually be ignored. A candidate could lose popular vote, but yet be elected president through key states. Wouldn't a popular vote system better represent the interests of America? Candidates often only campaign in battleground states, where the support is still divided somewhat evenly. States that they are winning tremendously or losing too much will be ignored by candidates and forgotten. Why would this be fair and equal, or even justifiable? I await your response! :D
