ad0889e35ec9 | 299C0AA4D716 | The electoral college has many inherint flaws that make it less desirable than a simple election by popular vote. It's only rebuttals to said flaws are weak, and provide little to no reason why the college is beneficial. So there is no real reason to have it in the first place. | Lead | Effective |

93023613de0b | 299C0AA4D716 | With popular vote though, candidates should be more inclined to visit as many states as possible and get their message out there. Because a 51% vote in a state no longer means a 100% victory. With the new influx of political campaigns, perhaps more people are swayed from their usual path of voting. While yes, there are... | Evidence | Effective |
eb3dd3032ca1 | 299C0AA4D716 | There is no real reason to keep the electoral college. It serves as a pointless middle man to an otherwise great government. Popular vote requires more out of the candidates, and puts more say into the individual vote. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
