The Electoral Process

I have mixed feelings towards the electoral process. I like the system that gives states a certain number of electoral votes. However, I think that the number of votes assigned to a state should be more equal or split into regions. This would make candidates campaign more in the less populated areas and turn their attention to the whle U.S.

Voter Apathy

I think that voter apathy is a serious problem in our country. With the percentage of voters dropping, we have less influence on the election. Electing a president is the most important part of our government. The president is the one who has the power to fix the problems that we struggle with nationally. If people don't care about who is elected president then they don't care about the good of their country.
To reduce voter apathy, I believe that candidates should spend a portion of their campaign talking about the importance of voting. There are different organizations that are also trying to get more people to vote. The biggest problem is that most people are not educated in our government. There are a lot of people who don't know what issues are being presented or how they are represented. The fix to this problem would be for voters to talk to and encourage nonvoters to take the time and vote. It is an simple process that makes a big impact.
