Should Vote Be Allowed To Vote
The decision of voting with electronic voting machines or regular voting ballots could raise arguments and a lot of debating. Personally, I believe our city should use Electronic voting machines. They are easier to use, quicker to use, and more exciting while voting. I guarentee if there was electronic voting machines and not ballots the number of votors would increase each year.

First of all, I believe we should use EMVs because people with disablities would have an easier time voting. They have hand held devices for people who have trouble standing. Disabled pepple are 20 percent less likely to vote, due to accessibility issues. The United States has 33.7 million people of voting age with disabilities. To increase the number of votors to bless our country with the best president in the election every four years, we need as many people voting as we can get. That 20 percent definetly means something. The United States needs every one at the age of 18, registered to vote to be able to vote even if they have disablities. We should make it easier for them.

Also, I believe EVMs are great to use because they aren't connected to internet to where hackers can hack.

Some people don't like writing on paper even if it's just filling in bubbles. When I'm at school i see more people using computers in class, more than book work. Sometimes we have the choice of working on our laptop and our paper worl. The laptop brings fun and happiness instead of plain paper. I guarentee more people would agree on EVMs than voting ballots.

In conlusion, I believe it's best for our city to switch to EVMs. If not switch, offer the option of having both. It is easier, quicker, no hacking, and easy for people with disablities. This would end in a result of our percentage of votors increasing. We need America to be great, We need as many people in this world as we can get to

    Another problem with the election system is that each ballout is different. Each state controls it own ballout, and they are designed poorly. For national elections there should be one ballout to make voting easier on the voter, but America doesn't have that. Many people cannot vote because it is so hard for someone who has multiple jobs or is disable. Most of the times that you can vote are during the day which would be during work house. So those who work eight hours or more don’t have a chance to vote. They make absentee ballots, but many citizens do not use that option. This is a major flaw in the election process. One of the biggest flaws to the national election is that a most citizens can’t run…

    Pros And Cons Of EMTALA

    There are pros and cons. Some medical people believe that the EMTALA legislation creates some problems for hospitals. Knowing that hospitals must take care of every person, people may use the ED for routine doctor visit situations. These people believe this contributes to the sometime overcrowding of ED’s. Another problem is that EMTALA legislation mandates caring for everyone no matter what. The hospital therefore, may not get paid. “According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, 55 percent of emergency care goes…

    By doing this, there could be local business and other locations that are held as polling places. This would eliminate long drives that people may complain about and help with making it accessible to more people. Allowing for people to have a day specifically for voting would give them no other reason to not go out and vote. The main thing to focus on the improve the voter turn-out is primarily registering more people. Making it more accessible for people to submit their registration application from home or receiving an application in the mail would help eliminate excuses for not being registering. I can honestly say I have not registered simply because I am too lazy to find a stamp and envelope to mail it off. Sad, but this is the truth of our generation; which needs to be fixed…

    Second, and closely related, was the issue of whether the roughly four million freedmen should be allowed to vote. The issue was how to receive the four million former slaves as citizens. If they were to be fully counted as citizens, some sort of representation for apportionment of seats in Congress had to be determined. Before the war, the population of slaves had been counted as three-fifths of a corresponding number of free whites. By having four million freedmen counted as full citizens, the South would gain additional seats in Congress. If blacks were denied the vote and the right to hold office, then only whites would represent them. Many conservatives, including most white southerners, northern Democrats, and some northern Republicans, opposed black voting. Some northern states that had referenda on the subject limited the ability of their own small populations of blacks to vote.…

    In the 2016 election of the United States, only about 55.4% percent of Americans voted, the lowest turnout in twenty years. Voting is in fact one of the biggest parts of democracy, sadly though, many people do not. In effort to increase voter turnouts countries have started making voting mandatory while others have not. Should America enforce a compulsory, or mandatory, voting system? There are three reasons why Americans should not be required to vote: most countries don’t require citizens to vote, countries with compulsory voting systems have higher satisfaction rates, and uninformed voters can be dangerous.…

    Why Is Voting Important

    We all have different opinions on voting. Voting can be a sensitive subject to everyone who votes. The one thing I cannot understand is when people vote they never want to tell people who they have voted for. You would think people would be proud for voting and who they voted for because they are expressing their opinions. If we look at most of our opinion when it comes to voting comes from the band wagon affect these days. Media often sways people’s perception on the candidate. I believe that voting doesn’t do us any good when it comes to electing the President of the United States of America or anyone elected to State Represenitive, Governor, or state local official. No matter who get the most popular vote or majority of the votes, the Electoral College always wins. To me this makes voting it senseless to me since the candidate that the American people have voted for will not get elected because of the Electoral College. The American voting system needs to be change to whoever wins the popular vote should win the election because that is who the American voters have…

    With the coming of electronic voting machines (EVMs), it was not even possible for voters to invalidate their votes by scratching out ballots or voting for two candidates. The only way to ensure that the vote is not wasted on an undeserving candidate was to not participate in the elections. As a result, Indian democracy has suffered from lower voting turnouts and growing dissatisfaction with the quality of candidates contesting elections. In the 2009 general elections, only 58% of registered voters cast their ballots, as against a high of 63% a quarter of a century ago. However, Indian voters going to the polls now have a new choice available to them: “none of the above (NOTA)”. The voters will not have to stand out of elections or invalidate their votes, or…

    The system of mandatory voting is present in more than 30 democracies around the world and it actually worked out. “Some people might even interpret mandatory voting as a violation of the First Amendment’s prohibition of compelled speech.” It’s right that American citizens have the freedom of speech, but mandatory is actually not a violation because it’s not harmful for the citizens. Mandatory voting in fact is helping the citizens because when they choose themselves they cannot complain about it. Some people also think that mandatory voting is wrong because, “It is not consistent with the freedom associated with democracy” (Text 2, lines 17-18) well mandatory voting does not forces a person to choose a certain candidate it has many options, and then the person that’s voting has the freedom to choose whomever they want. People against mandatory voting say that they get many “random votes”, It still counts as a vote, at least people are participating voting in national…

    Voting has a been a problem in the United States for a long time now. The United states has trailed other countries for decades in voter turnouts. Only 61% of eligible voters go to the polls to vote and one of the biggest reasons is because they do not believe that their vote counts. If the electoral college was abolished, then I believe that more citizens would go to the polls. Using the popular vote to decide the next president of the United States would make every vote count equally and give the voters the satisfaction of knowing that their vote counted.…

    From reading this passage, my current position is remaining nuetral. The reason why my position is nuetral is because, one, both sides have very good reasons on whether to have electronic voting machines (EVMs), or, paper voting. The passage explaining the pros and cons are basically saying, if electronic voting machines (EVMs) are used, its helps people to vote more easily, especially those with disabilities. The reason to it being more affective on those with disabilities is due to the fact that there are hand-held devices attached to the machine to assist, along with other assistive things as well. The cons on having an electronic voting system, which the other side explains includes, not knowing the installed language , which makes privacy…

    In the United States, we have the privilege to vote. This privilege was given to us through the constitution and its amendments. Today, every citizen of the United States has the right to vote. When the Declaration of Independence was signed, the right to vote was limited exclusively for white protestant men who owned property. In 1792, New Hampshire was the first state that discarded the property requirement to vote. Maryland became the last state to eliminate a religious restriction on voting. This allowed almost every white man to have the right to vote. In the years of 1869 and 1870, the fifteenth Amendment was passed giving all men the right to vote, no matter their race or color. The years 1919 to 1920 were big years for women. The Nineteenth Amendment was passed by congress, giving all citizens the right to vote no matter their gender. Then in 1971, the Twenty-Sixth Amendment enforced the national voting age of eighteen and older.…
