The Electoral College

The Electoral College represents a system that overpowers the voting system for the presidential election. It shows a majority because it is accounted for by the number of people in power(in the government). These are the people who vote and who's vote actually matters. Basically, it is the people in the high government that makes the final decision on which way the votes should sway. It is said that they take the peoples popular vote into consideration but the only vote that really rules in their head is their own, so they compound that with the various and numerous opinions of the people.

I think the Electoral College is pointless because it makes the peoples voice with their votes useless. The people should have a say in who rules and runs their country. It is the people who are the majority so they should have the majority ruling. I think that the government is too connected within itself to follow all the rules without getting caught up in friendships and sides of politics.
