[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 560801, member: 1514"] I think the electoral college is out of date to be honest. I think we should go with the popular vote now. Good grief, you can win just about every county in one state but then have it go to the other candidate simply because they win the larger counties. That really makes people in the smaller counties feel like they shouldnt even bother to go vote. Like in NC, if a candidate wins Raleigh and Charlotte, they win the state so why should I even bother to vote? I also think we should put a cap on the amount that candidates can spend on elections. The money they spend now is absurd. It could go to so many other better causes like...spending down our debt! If they can afford billions of dollars to attempt to get a job that pays around 200K well, there is just something wrong there. Send us all emails, let them compose their own speeches, maybe a couple debates on TV because the TV stations have to do those for free, I can think of a lot more ways to do things cheaper if we cut them down to maybe only 2 million a piece. Maybe that would show they can keep our money safer. [/QUOTE]
