Does your vote make a difference?

   In a recent article written by one of my fellow classmates Bailey Garrett, she explains how our voting system has an enormous effect on the way Americans cast their vote for Presidency. She initially grabs the readers attention by raising doubt if our votes even matter in elections. In great detail she expresses, why Americans feel as if their vote won't make a difference in fault to an amendment that was written in 1803. Since then our Society has changed drastically, and stresses the need for our voting system to accommodate based on the president situation and not our past.

   For a reader who is uninformed on the Electoral College system and the way they choose to vote the author makes it simple but clear for them to understand. She as well does a great job of as explaining the role of our House of Representatives and when they would potentially step in. I think it's important to emphasize the amount of impact local elections have on our national elections because of our voting system and the author manages to do so. The only thing I would like her to elaborate on would be her idea on ways we should change our voting system to fit our nations present day needs.
