The Electoral College and its Purpose.
The Electoral College and its Purpose It is a normal process of life to outgrow, adapt, and change social normality’s, such as the way we dress, how we talk, and even what we eat. These changes occur because of society, we as people have learned to respect each other, grow together, and fight for a common goal. However, the same is not true for our government, as the people of the United States, we should expect the same practice of change in government processes, especially when we have outgrown a major component in the way our government officials are elected, most importantly the president. The topic of decision is the electoral college, created during a time of social separation, based off of race, gender, and economic class. These separations no longer determine our way of living and interacting, but for our people elected to pose change, the process of electing them does not follow this same structure. The electoral college is outdated and should no longer be a part of the election process.
