I agree with Mike Rosen that hypocrisy plays a major part in recent ballot initiatives in several states. Although I haven’t voted yet (I am a sophomore at Ponderosa High School), I want my vote to count as a Colorado citizen. If my vote is with the majority, the majority should rule, and all of the electoral votes should go to the winning party. If my vote is with the minority, then I have to support those who are in the majority. Mike Rosen clears up the misconception about our constitutional republic, and the role of the Electoral College in maintaining the voices of each of the United States. Politicians who want to make changes to benefit their party do not have the interest of the nation at heart. This letter has not been edited.
