In a well-written paragraph, explain whether you believe the electoral college should be abolished. make sure to justify your position with at least three reasons. (10 points)

I believe the Electoral College should be removed from the election process. There have been several occasions where a Presidential candidate got more votes than their opponent, but lost the presidency due to the electoral college. All other elected officials are determined by a popular vote, so the presidency should do the same. In the latest election, Hillary Clinton received nearly three million more votes than her opponent, Donald Trump. However, Donald Trump won the electoral college. This means that despite Clinton getting more votes than Trump, Trump still became president. The electoral college ignores the will of the people, and should be abolished.
