Today in Class... Election Day! 11/8/16

Today is election day! I am nervous, scared, excited, and relieved all at the same time. Nervous and scared because I think at this point they both have a pretty equal chance at winning and because our country could possibly be in the hands of someone who has no idea what he is getting himself into and has no experience with anything like this whatsoever. Excited because our country could be in the hands of the first female president ever (not that that is the only reason I would want her to be president, its just a plus :) )! Relieved because the campaign will finally over and man was it a long time coming! In class we talked about electoral college. I would only like to say three things about that. A) I don't understand why this is a thing. B) If you are going to have this "point" system, then at least have it so that the candidates split them reasonably if it isn't won by a landslide. C) I feel that if a person wins the popular vote, then the majority of the country wants that person as their next president and that is how it should be.
