Though a candidate can get the majority popular vote, they may not necessarily get the electoral vote. This has happened three in the cases of John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Benjamin Harrison. All three candidates were elected President of the United States by electoral votes, however, their opponents won the popular vote . Voting is both a right and a privilege. While many may care less about the government, others can be persuaded with mandatory debates, instant runoff voting, and no Electoral College.
Voting is an idea for which many people have been willing to die.
Minorities have struggled to obtain what so many of us take for granted by not even participating. It is very important that kids, my age, deserve a right to get involved in political participation. Internet voting would be a good option to take in political participation. A reason would be that kids, our age, are too young to get involved in things like this. Even if we were interested, the 26th Amendment stated that only people aged 18 or over can vote.
