The Electoral college was made to encourage the electoral voting process in deciding a president for the nation. In elections today, the first candidate to get to 270 out of 538 votes wins the white house and the presidency along with it. It was the easiest solution to settle the debate without argument. Take for example the most recent debate, Trump .V. Biden. They used the electoral college and watched and waiting as their votes went up. The race was called at which Biden had 306 electoral votes and Trump still only had 232 and did not reach 270 while Biden exceeded it. So therefore, our new president for 2021-2024 is Joe Biden as shown from the (Electoral college process) results.

Now, everyone has the right to vote. No matter if they are black or white, or if they are a woman, they can vote. And anyone above the age of 18 also has the right to vote. So, this means with the new voting laws, MORE people will be involved in the voting process, so no one is left out and we will have the maximum number of voters possible to help the vote could pass faster and more swiftly. The bill for the right for African Americans and women to vote was passed not too long ago in 1965.

Yes, it has been a sleek-and-slick operation so far with not very many bumps in the road. I think this is an excellent system of how to settle grand debates such as this one, like decisions for the nation. It would be very difficult to vote without this system and NOT cause an argument amongst everyone. Because everyone believes what they want to believe and will keep fighting for the person that they want to win so people could argue for hours but it would be light yelling at a brick wall, it's not going to budge. And most likely we’d revert to how times were before this was made, which is having a royal heir instead. Which is even more unfair because just because they are the next in line, doesn’t mean that they will be a true and faithful leader to the nation.

Explanation:

1.3x - 2 - (3.3x + 5) = 2x + 1

1.3x - 2 - 3.3x - 5 = 2x + 1

-2x - 7 = 2x + 1

-7 = 4x + 1

-8 = 4x

x = -2
