    Voting In The Movie Selma

    After watching Selma, and witnessing the struggles endured in pursuit of civil rights in America; I think it is extremely important to vote as an American citizen. After seeing what Oprah Winfrey's character had to go through to get approved to vote was very mind opening. Constantly having to come back knowing more and more information that over half of the average American today does not know is absurd. Also witnessing the way African Americans were treated during peaceful protest shows the importance of voting as well, not just because of what they had to go through for everyone regardless of race and gender to vote but to be sure that times never reverse to the way that they once were. Voting in America gives the people a voice of how…

    The Electoral College is not actually a place; it is how we elect our President per the Constitution. The Founders created this system as a compromise between choosing a President by popular vote or a vote by Congress (“U. S. Electoral College, Official - What Is the Electoral College?). Although this system has been in place since the beginning of our country, there are both good and bad things about it. To understand whether this system should be kept or abolished, it is important to see how it works. Each state chooses Electors through a two-part process.…

    The weakness of our voting System I have never convinced of the saying, “every vote counts,” when our founding fathers created this democracy they were distrustful of the masses. They designed the system to make sure citizens never had too much power, because if they did they would make mistakes. They set up the Electoral College so “wrong” votes could be corrected. Therefore, I believe that voting is not an effective form of political participation, because the voting system is flawed. I believe each vote doesn’t count as much as it should because of the Electoral College.…

    Should American Citizens be required to vote Throughout the years, many citizens have fought for the right to vote. Citizens of other countries view the United States as being lucky just to have the opportunity to help choose the person who will be in charge of our country or to help decide how our constitution will be amended. American citizens should be able to vote for many reasons,first being U.S. citizens are the voice of America and are our future leaders and drive the political process. The second reason mandatory voting should be require is because it can get American citizens involved in the government, and lastly mandatory voting will sustain a democratic government.

    Voting is lenient, this is very positive sense we don't have everyone voting. One of the reasons that we have made this so it wasn't mandatory was because it would take way to long to count up all those votes from every single state. Secondly, if everyone was forced to vote they might just pick and leave. Not everyone cares about politics, they don't care who is going to be elected officials. If you make people vote they will just pick something random and go along with it, which would mess up how we vote and who is elected.…
