Fixing the Broken Presidential Nomination Process

Fixing the Broken Presidential Nomination Process
By John, D.

The system of election has become more complicateand more expensive. First problem is that election is over before everyone has a chance to vote for primary. Today, election system is a contest of money raising and organization. Second problem is that because of states' greed, they force candidates to be busy with crazy schedule and campaigning money. He points that even some people can be good leader, they cannot try because they do not have power, money for election, and a huge number of people who can support them. Also, he points the problem of election in a day. If people in all states vote a same day, candidate will focus few large states for more votes; therefore small states were ignored. Moreover, he suggests that election system should be a variation of a regional primary. Even though many people recognize the problems of election system, it cannot be changed because of powerful people who benefit, right now. He criticize that both sides of parties do not want to fix problems of election system because they afraid they will lose advantages. He emphasize that if we cannot this small problem of election, we cannot fix the big real problem for America.

I totally agree about this article. I think he points well about the problems of election of America. I want to add something more; however, his thinking and organization are absolutely better than me. I hope that before we start the project about this, we should check and discuss about the election system enough.
