Question

In at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.

Answer 1

The direct voting system is more democratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of electing a state governor in US is done through a direct voting system where voters can directly vote for their supporting candidate. Each state can have only two candidates, one candidate from each party. The one with the majority of people's vote simply gets elected as the governor.

On the other hand, the president is elected through representative voting where the voters elect their representatives who then votes in the Congress in favor of the people. This group of representatives is called the electoral college. It consists of 538 electors.

The direct voting system is more democratic because people's vote are counted directly, there are less chances of bribery and betrayal and it is more transparent.
