The states with larger populations have more electoral votes, which means the majority vote of each state is what those electoral votes represent on a national level.

    that the majority of people here are white, but as I dug deeper into the census, I found some really interesting percentages. I found out that in Fort Worth, Texas there is more of a majority of white people with sixty-five point two percent, but Hispanics take a close second with thirty-four point one percent. It's amazing how in a span of only eighteen and a half miles the population percentages can be that different. As I was interviewing people as to what they believed the majority is, I…

Personally, I hope for a future with a significantly higher prevalence of minorities within the legal field, reflecting…

    will say that a democracy only means people have the right to vote, and everyone does have the right to vote in the United States. But a democracy means much more. If people are not voting then the Nation is not being run by its people, because the majority of the people are not putting in their say. This is true because if a president wins by 51% but the voter turnout was only 40%, then only 21% of the nation approves of the president. This means that the Uniteds States are being run by the…

    alternative method to this is using the popular vote from each state, or state winners. The best method for replacing the Electoral College is using state winners, where the candidate with the popular vote in that state wins the state and would need a majority of 51 votes to win presidency. First, every state has the same number of votes, so the candidates would have or give their attention to all of the states. With the votes being equal, larger states will not have as much power over the…
