Legislation: Resolution #, D, 11, 07, 09, 07
Title: A Resolution to Abolish the Elect
L01________: Whereas: The Electoral College system was invented in order
L02________: order to provide a vote to a public that was not adequately
L03________: informed about the candidates, and;
L04________: Whereas: Modern media provides an abundance of information
L05________: on candidates, allowing voters to reach their own conclusion
L06________: about said candidates, and;
L07________: Whereas: By choosing single electors to vote in the name
L08________: of a group of citizens, those citizens are not directly
L09________: represented in the election; and,
L10________: Whereas: A system of elections based on the popular
L11________: numerical vote as opposed to electoral points would
L12________: demonstrate a just, fair and equal say for every citizen in
L13________: the election.
L14________: Therefore, Let It Be Resolved By The Student Congress Here
L15________: Assembled That: the Electoral College system be replaced by
L16________: a form of direct representation which better reflects the
L17________: desires of each and every citizen.
