Due to the way the Electoral College is set up, it’s possible to win the presidency without winning the majority of popular votes. Because of this, a debate has sprung up as to ways to possibly fix this system (assuming it needs to be fixed). What arguments can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College? What arguments could be made for keeping it as is?

Against

~This is the system set up by the founding fathers; stick with tradition.

~It gives low-population states a say in federal government where higher population states might overwhelm them, if possible.

For  

~It’s unfair for the person who wins most votes to lose.

~All votes should have the same power. Giving more power to voters in low-population states is unfair.

Explanation:

pizarro staged a mock trial and found atahualpa guilty of revolting against the spanish, practicing idolatry, and murdering huáscar, his brother. atahualpa was sentenced to execution by burning. he was horrified, since the inca believed that the soul would not be able to go on to the afterlife if the body were burned.

when christopher columbus arrived on the bahamian island of guanahani (san salvador) in 1492, he encountered the taíno people, whom he described in letters as "naked as the day they were born." taíno influences survived, however, and today appear in the beliefs, religions, language, and music of caribbean cultures.

ad 1492: taíno meet columbus; “new world” gets new diseases. in the bahamas, the taíno are 125,000 strong in 1492 when they encounter the crew and the italian captain of three spanish ships. christopher columbus seeks a shorter sea route to india to spain get a foothold in the profitable spice trade.
