70f1023565e1 | 7E492FFD9778 | Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times.

66e700e80f6c | 7EE7A20BBBD4 | The first problem that the electoral college faces is the fact that it does not truly represent the opinion of the people. | Claim | Effective |
b38736567c42 | 7EE7A20BBBD4 | First, voters can walk into the booth and "...get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate" (Plumer 10).

a0c33789e54b | 7EE7A20BBBD4 | The first example appears in the method of the "..."winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate"(Office of Federal Register 7).
