Controversy has been raised recently over whether the deciding factor of who is to win the United States presidency should be the votes of electoral college or popular vote. The United States Constitution, population of the states, and election fraud give valid reasons as to why Electoral votes are counted in the elections instead of popular vote. Popular vote is based off of the opinions of each individual person in the United States. The Electoral College is made up of Electors from each state that are put into office by voters in each state. The rules of the World Series state that the team that wins four of the seven win the series. No matter what the batting average is for each team, they will only win the series if they win four games.

In Virginia, a group found records of at least one thousand non-citizens registered to vote. Reports in Virginia also reveal that in a 2014 election, when a voter would attempt to select a Republican nominee, the voting polls would switch the result to a Democratic nominee instead. Virginia is known as a swing state, which is a state in which the two major political parties have around the same level of support among voters, so these states are critical to the voting process. Other swing states are Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Voter fraud tends to occur most frequently in these states. It is not necessarily about the amount of voter fraud that occurs, but how well-planned and targeted each case of voter fraud is (Kent). In October of this year, a Colorado television station reported at least seventy-eight dead people voting (Bruce). Reports of the deceased voting has also occurred in Ohio and Virginia. There were also some cases in Colorado in which people were caught voting twice. In Florida, an eight-three year old woman who has a been a Republican her whole life received a Democratic voter ID card, attempting to force the woman to vote Democrat or to not vote at all. There have also been over two hundred cases of voter fraud reported in Florida in which applications have been filled out for a voter ID with incorrect information. Michigan even allows people to vote without ID as long as they fill out an affidavit stating they are who they say they are. There were reports of machines flipping votes in Nevada and North Carolina. New Hampshire does not require proof of state residency for voters, thus offering the possibility of residents of other states
