end up having much more representation than a single state with a large population. Because of this, the people in the smaller states have a bigger representation on the election. The Electoral College does not accurately represent the people; some people are overrepresented while others do not even have a say. Just like how some people do not have a say, the third party and Independent candidates do not have their “say” on the electoral votes. Another reason that the Electoral College is a faulty system is because the third party and Independent candidates of the election are never part of the electoral vote. According to Document E, Independent candidate Ross Perot got 18.9% of the popular vote, but got 0% of the electoral vote in the 1992 Presidential Election. It is surprising that a minor party candidate can get close to 20% of the popular vote, when it really should not be. Because of the Electoral College, the minor party candidates are not even included in the election. The Electoral College simply rejects the third-party or Independent candidates and puts the spotlight on the Democrat and Republican candidate, promoting an unhealthy amount of bipartisanship as seen today, with the amount of rioting going on between the Democrats and the Republicans. Document I states that Ralph Nader got none of the electoral votes even though he got about three million of the popular vote in the 2000 President Election. The Electoral College basically promotes bipartisanship,…

No new taxes”, would rise. Bush soon breaks this oath to deal with the rising deficit, this action resulting in a lasting effect on…

Calls to Time Warner to discontinue distribution of the track gained in popularity when the song was publically condemned by Vice President Dan Quayle. There were also appeals to boycott all Time Warner media from the…

It 's intimidating enough to feel the burning eyes of the various doctors in the room watching me, but the sight of the syringe with a large needle in the short grumpy old nurses hand makes me feel very unsettled. "You will only feel a slight pinch in your arm okay." Said the nurse while she grabs my upper arm and tries to find the dot she drew on my arm earlier camouflaged in the faint freckles up and down my arm. I take a deep breath as she brings the syringe , filled with the "magical"…
