SEE GIVING DAY, PAGE 4 20-year-old found dead in Micanopy IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS A HOMICIDE By Katherine Wallace-Fernandez Alligator Staff Writer

A missing 20-year-old man from Gilchrist County turned up dead in Micanopy on Monday. Deputies say he was killed. The man, who has been identifi ed as Daniel Schweitzer, had been reported missing since Feb. 3 and was thought to be headed toward Alachua County or Tampa. The Alachua County Sheriff’s Offi ce discovered his body when deputies received a call at 3:29 p.m. from a driver who was fl agged down by a person who spotted the decomposed body while walking down Country Road 234, said Lt. Brett Rhodenizer, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Offi ce spokesper- son. Deputies found the body underneath palm fronds in the area. Gilchrist County is about an hour away from Micanopy. The medical examiner’s offi ce and sheriff’s offi ce detec- tives confi rmed Tuesday that he was killed, according to the sheriff’s offi ce. It is unclear how or when he was killed. The body had been under palm fronds on the side of the road for days or weeks, Rhodenizer said. The witness told detectives a blanket and bags were nearby. “Whatever happened didn’t happen recently,” he said. “There’s nothing on scene or that we’ve been made aware of Samuel Thomas / Alligator Staff that causes us any concern for the sake of the community.” Anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal In- Sunset Strolling vestigations Division at 352-367-4170.

Editorial Our voting system is archaic and in need of change he entire system of how Americans vote could be chang- ing soon if Colorado is any indication. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has stipulated that he is going to sign a bill that will sidestep the Electoral College in favor of a system that will allow the candidate with the most popular votes to win. TThe U.S. uses the Electoral College system, which has 538 electors. Basically, when you go to the polls to vote, you are cast- ing your vote for an elector. The presidential candidate’s names are just stand-ins for your elector. In the coming 2020 election, electors are divided up based on the previous 2016 election. There will be 306 Republican electors based off of the number of votes Donald Trump received in 2016, while the remaining 232 electors will be Democrats based off of how many votes Hillary Clinton received. A presidential candi- date needs to win the majority of Electoral College votes, 270, to become president. Electors are elected based off of different and often random processes from each state. In the U.S. presidential election, a candidate can win the popular vote, but they may not win the Electoral College. In 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by about 3 million more votes than Donald Trump – the biggest difference in a can- didate who has won the popular vote and not the Electoral Col- lege. Even here in Florida, we are no stranger to the popular vote. Those of us who are in college now could barely talk in 2000, but Column it was that same year Florida was riddled in election controversy. The election between Al Gore and George W. Bush was so close in Florida that a clear winner couldn’t be named in the state and, therefore, in the entire country for weeks.
