Plurality voting system

The next lobbyist to speak was Holden Parker from the American Civil Liberties Union. Parker’s lobbying efforts were left of center and for the Republican Party that was an immediate turnoff. Parker started off the lobbying effort with a prayer for the victims outside that were involved in the terrorist attack. Parker then went into a discussion about border security and its significance. However, at the end of his speech, Parker then went into a discussion over conditional amnesty and how it…

leaders by voting. Voting to most is a right of passage in citizenship meaning, it what makes us a citizens of a democracy. There have been wars is history that started, because citizens did not want a dictator and wanted the right to vote or just thought as a human they should be able to vote. Should the United States government do something to change this and if so would could help?…

why it took so long for women and minorities to be given the right to vote, you would receive answers on the lines of sexism and racism. However, the refusal of voting rights was based on the fear that women and minorities were wildcards, current voters had no idea how they were voting. This simulation demonstrated how teams with no voting rights felt having to fight for them and it also demonstrated just how much each vote really counts in an election. In this simulation it was illustrated…

college. The Electoral college was a system designed to elect the President of the United States by having several electors from each state cast their vote for who they desired to be elected president. These electors are chosen by popular vote of the people in each and are expected to cast their vote in favor of the candidate whose party they represent. Each state possess a certain number of electors based on population and possess a “winner take all” system in which the popular vote in each…

should have the right to be neutral and not vote. I understand that voting is a right and using them to the best of your abilities will greatly benefit you. But being forced or “mandatory” to vote for someone that you don’t know anything about will be a misrepresentation of the public 's best interest. That can potentially elect the wrong person in office and cause citizens to establish a distrust in the free peoples voting system. I grew up in a very conservative household where my parents…

I believe that the current voting age should be maintained at 18 instead of 16. i believe that even if they were to change the legal voting age to 16 that many young people would still not vote. i also think that they should keep the voting age at 18 because 16 year olds are not ready for the responsability of voting,and many of them still most likely dont understand how serious voting actually is. I dont think they should change the voting age to 16 from 18 because i don't think many…

Voting is an essential right given to individuals who are considered citizens of this great country. As a citizen of the United States of America you are entitled to countless rights that can be exercised because it is granted by the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers created the Constitution, which is essentially a manual that our society uses to make sure our government is effective. However, since our country has grown and expanded throughout the century so has the constitution. The…

not into politics, such as people who hate the government and how it runs the country. Uneducated people are also less likely to vote. They may have no knowledge of the political system and how it works. This is especially true for immigrants who are still not familiar with the political system in America. Even though voting does not cost a thing and most adults are registered voters, there are still many who do not vote. There are a few ways to encourage people to vote. One way to encourage…

presidential elections, although it did not affect the outcome, there was some disturbance within the Republican party when Donald Trump became the presidential nominee. The same thing happens within our state elections and many time leads to spilt ticket voting. Whenever a single party becomes splintered, the party needs to keep factional disputes under control, or risk losing voters to the other party. Which brings me to the second disadvantage of a one-party government, the disenfranchisement…

The current voting age of America is 18 and should be maintained for many years to come. There are many reasons why the voting age is set at 18. First the brain doesn't reach full maturety until the ages of 18 and 21. Secondly most of the youth of America aren't interested in voting in any election, whether it's for local office or for the presidency. Finally society as a whole needs to get involved in elections not just a few 16 and 17 year olds who havent even graduated from high school yet.…
