Is electoral college a viable component of American system of democracy?
This answer is subject to a wide range of opinion. The electoral college was a carefully thought compromise developed early in the nation's history. There were two main reasons for it: - Some of the founding fathers (Alexander Hamilton, for example) believed that the people were too naive and uninformed to choose good national leaders. A select team of educated people from each state could do the selection more wisely. - The electoral college allowed the smallest states a little bit of an extra voice in the choosing of the president. The electoral college remains an important part of American Republican Democracy. Candidates and parties vie for slight majorities in selected 'swing' states rather than fighting equally in all areas. The electoral college has several flaws: - The system can choose a president who has a minority of popular votes. In the 2000 election, Mr. Gore received 500,000 more votes than Mr. Bush, but lost. - The system provides a substantial bias in favor of the small states and against the largest states. - Because the smallest states are mainly aligned with one party and the largest two states with the other, the electoral college system favors one party over the other. - While the system is based upon the belief that the select people of the electoral college will use sound judgment, better than that of the common people, the present usage of the system actually removes the judgment from their hands. They are forced to vote with the party they are aligned with. So while the electoral college remains a viable component of the democracy, it should not be considered an essential or beneficial component.
