One of the more interesting things to me is trying to figure out how the US president is elected. Instead of a simple popular vote everything is done by delegates who are supposed to vote based on the popular vote. I assume this system was made because in the days when this country was founded, it lacked the technology to allow the easy communication and accuracy that our system now has access to. It's interesting that the system has still not changed. It was of course a big issue in the 2000 election when Al Gore got the popular vote, but George W. Bush got the electoral vote. Does the system still make sense? If we had to start over using today's technology, what would the election process look like?
There's no yet a world wide leader, but if there was... what would that election process look like?
