A) Do you really think the system is fair? All I have to say is: ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Yes, in the past, the college has always voted how the people they represent voted. However, they actually have no obligation to vote with the majority. The Electoral College could vote any way they like, any time. And just because they haven't yet doesn't mean they won't.
B) Should people younger than 18 vote? Absolutely not. The bottom line is that when you turn 18, when you become an adult, many people leave home and become independent. Right now, simply because I don't manage my own healthcare and taxes and have never taken out a loan, I don't have a full grasp of the issues that 18 year-olds and olders would. I don't know what plan I'm on, how much it covers, and how much it costs. Healthcare is a vastly important issue, but I just don't know anything about it.
C) If Obama is president, is there no longer racism in our country? If Hillary is president, will sexism be gone as well? No. That would only be true if they were unanimously voted into office. Just because Bush is president doesn't mean we're all Republican. If Obama becomes president, you know what? The KKK won't just change their minds and start holding hands with people of all colors, singing "we shall overcome".

Review the function of the Electoral College. Its not a separate entity but rather a system for counting votes. States are given a number of "points" according to the population. The more people the more "points."
Also, I wish you would consider some of the questions we addressed in person. If you were given the right to vote, would it push you to learn more about your health care plan, along with other things that affect you personally and you as a member of society?
