Rock your own vote; don’t let anyone else decide SG’s fate
(02/25/15 12:41am)
When the founding fathers created the American Electoral College, they created a buffer between the majority vote and the actual selection of the president. They were aware of the scary possibility of the electorate being persuaded, bribed or forced to vote for someone who would mishandle power. So, they created a process in which voters express their preferred candidates, and then previously designated state electors vote, in most states, for the candidate who won the state’s popular vote. We, however, don’t have that sort of buffer in our Student Government elections. So, the nightmare that probably kept our founding fathers tossing and turning is a very real possibility at UF. In fact, it may have already happened.
