The United States election process is one that undergoes much debate and controversy. Some claim that it is more than fair, and others claim that it isn’t even close to being fair.
Is our election process fair?

No, I highly disagree with it. Our election process is the reason why so many potential candidates have lost. It’s all about money to them. They treat the states as if it’s a stock or something. Whatever has the highest population deserves to have the candidate speak there the most. It’s ridiculous.
No such thing as a perfect system, but the primary system coupled with the electoral college gives the best voice to the majority of the US people.
Without the party system we could easily have a ballot so large and so evenly spread an official could be elected on as little as 10% of the vote (you think this country is divided NOW?)
The electoral college means that even if New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Newark, and Miami vote for the same person, a person is Kansas still has a say on who gets elected.
Also Urban issues are totally different than rural ones, but a popular national vote would ensure only the urban vote would be heard.
Nice blog. I’ll return regularly.
lol everyone is messed up, there are going to be people who say its great, while others will always disagree. Most people are stupid.
I honestly believe that the electoral college shouldn't be established. We shouldn't have a system where states are looked at that way. The popular vote should determine elections only.
