Outdated Process of Electoral College.
It became apparent during our most recent presidential election the need .
to abolish the Electoral College. The idea of an Electoral College has become an .
outdated process that Michael L. Young, the director of the Center for Survey .
Research at Pennsylvania State University, calls an "archaic, anti-democratic and .
confusing system used to elect the president" (Young 35).
The Electoral College was supposed to be a two-step process. First, the .
electors chosen in each state would nominate the presidential candidates; then .
the House would vote to choose the president from these five with each state .
getting one vote. When the Electoral College was proposed in 1787, it was a .
compromise between popular elections, in which large states would dominate, .
and an elite Congressional election, which could produce under-handed political .
deals. However, with the unforeseen emergence of the political parties, and the .
expansion of the people eligible to vote the original idea for the Electoral College .
became altered (Young 36- 37).
Today the way the Electoral College vote works is each state gets to cast a .
number of votes that equals the sum of the states senators and representatives. .
Every state has at least one House representative and two senators, this means .
that even small states have at least 3 votes. In the Electoral process Washington, .
DC is considered a small state and has 3 college votes. A larger state is California .
with 54 votes. By tradition and state law, the process is a winner takes all system .
Buren 2.
in which the vote of the Electoral College is supposed to reflect the winner of the .
popular vote in that particular state, by giving the winner of the popular vote a .
block vote from the Electoral College. However, that does not always happen as .
we experienced during the election of 2000.

women were oppressed by men for a long time. during the 1830's women started to become active in fighting for their rights. it was a gradual process but they came together. women's suffrage was actually a spinoff of the fight for slave rights. women fought for slave rights whom eventually got their rights with the passing of the 14th amendment. if the slaves could be fred and have equal rights as men, then why not white women have the same rights as men. it has to be understood that back then it was the belief of republicanism and people believed in civic virtue in which citizens h...
