This process of electing a president is unfair and not based on the opinions of the people. In Document D, the graph provided illustrates how certain electoral votes favor some states over others; for example, the twelve states listed and the District of Columbia appear to have more say in the presidential election process than the citizens of Illinois. This in itself is unfair, because Illinois deserves to have an accurate representation of its votes, just like other states. This shows that the Electoral College undermines the principle of “one person, one vote” and therefore violates political equality. “It is not a neutral counting system...it favors some citizens over others, based solely on the state in which electors voted for president” (Document D). Political equality means that all citizens are equal and also allows citizens to participate in state affairs, including the right to vote and the right to contest elections. However, the Electoral College violates this principle in that it weighs the vote of some citizens more heavily than others (video). In general, it makes no sense for people to vote if they are not even counted, and in any case it violates their rights. In conclusion, the Electoral College should be abolished because small states are not represented, the system has many flaws, and it is not accurate based on citizens' votes. Overall this doesn't seem to be necessary, it was done because at the time it was thought to be an easy way to choose a president, but in reality it just causes problems and doesn't does not fairly represent candidates or voters. If America is truly about equality and democracy, then it will abolish the electoral college and let the people have the right to vote.
