SUBJECT: My research topic: The Electoral Vote vs. Popular Vote

The purpose of this memo is to give a brief snapshot of the intentions of this research paper. The title of this text will be “The Electoral Vote vs. Popular Vote for the President of The United States.” For many years and Presidential Elections, the debate has surface if the presidential election should be decided by the electoral vote or the popular vote. The presidential election clearly should be decided by the popular vote. The country was founded with democratic theory and the people voice should be heard. The Electoral College Vote is supposed to represent the popular vote; however it has the potential to be influenced base on political party view or lobbyist greed.

Currently a poll is being conducted where one hundred registered voters are asked which vote should decide the proper candidate for the White House. These voters will be asked independently and the results will be tallied to conclude on way or the other. Also research is being conducted on the internet as well as in the student library. The audience for this text will be the United States Congress Election Committee.

The immediate approval of the memo is requested as the poll and research have already started. Please give any recommendation for modification of the topic or research tactics.
