Plurality voting system

Presidential candidates take almost two years to announce they are running to the day they are sworn into office. They work with the two party systems and during that time they spend a lot of money during the campaign. Some of the parties since the 1872 are the Green Party, the Libertarians, The constitution Party to name a few. During the past years the Americans have either elected a Democratic or a Republican Party member to the highest office in the land. The Republicans and Democrats…

As of now the way the U.S. elects its president is through a system called the Electoral College. Other systems like the direct popular vote or the national popular vote may work in democracies, but the United States is a federal republic not a democracy. While allowing states to be represented in a manner consistent with their size, the Electoral College has the exceptional power of allowing small states and rural areas to still maintain their influence in the government. This allows us to have…

power”. In theory, this system of government gives ordinary people the power to influence and change the government. The first modern democratic system established in England, in 1689, 327 years ago. But in what way did democracy really progress? More and more countries are adapting democratic institutions, and almost every country now claims to be democratic, but in reality, how democratic did our world transform into, and what could authorities do to improve upon our current system?

In the editorial “Electronic Voting Delivers Accuracy: Opposing View” by Brian Kemp, the author takes a stance agreeing with the idea that electronic voting systems are far more accurate than the old-school paper ballots. The editorial focuses on how a paper trail of voting is not necessary in today’s day and age. Paper audits can be positively influential, but they are not a requirement for correct representation anymore. Many people think that the system of voting on paper is the safer route,…

With many different methods for voting, the paper ballot is the best voting technology method. Voters record their choices by marking the boxes next to their choice and then drop it into a sealed ballot box. Paper ballots are easily understood, inherently voter verified, and allow each voter to vote only once. Other voting technology methods have many disadvantages. For example, electronic voting machines are digital disasters, cause jammed phone lines, have blocked access, and allow for…

I believe that the article " Electronic Voting Is a Bad Idea" makes a very good point on why using ( EVMs) is a bad idea. Like most of American's, the people care about who is in office, so why take the chance of using (EVMs) and have there be a flaw in the system. Paper ballots is most likely the best way to go about voting because you can choose who you would like in the office. On-like using a electronic voting machine there is no chance of a flaw, say the power was to go out the machines…

The United States have started using EVM's(electroninc voting machines) there is a very large debate whether or not the should be used. In my opinion the EVM's are a terrible idea. the reasonfor my argument are that, the EVM's can easily be hacked and tampered with, they are costing the tax payers money, and most people find them harder to use. First, EVM's can easily be hacked like any other device. The paper ballots can also be tampered with too but, is highly unlikely. Electronic devices…

everything we use is electronic. Whether that be shopping online, paying our bills, or obtaining a college degree through online classes. In these cases, it is convenient and helpful to have those options made available to us. However, when it comes to voting, maintaining paper ballots could very well be what's best for our city. I firmly believe that EVM's should not be used for the next election because they are ultimately not as user friendly, they are expensive to upkeep, and votes have the…
