THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

The United States has recently elected a new president. The two frontrunners for the presidency were George Bush and Al Gore. It was a close race all way up to Election Day. There was some controversy over the ballads, which prolonged the election. In some states their had to be a recount to see who would win that states electoral votes. The question that most people ask is should their even be an Electoral College …

…and senators, which allows the presidential candidates to focus more on the states with more people. Popular vote could be the next method of electing the president, by taking all the votes and tallying them up and the person with the most votes win. By letting the outgoing presided and vice president elect the new president might be giving two people to much power, but at least the person will be qualified for the job.
