    The Bush vs. Gore campaign was at its climax in late October of 2000. The people of the nation were casting their votes, and the two leading candidates were neck to neck.

  • Vote For An Electoral College Member
    3,664 words
    The Electoral College: Is Attendance Smart A common misconception among Americans is that when they vote they elect the President. The truth is not nearly this simple. What in fact happens when a person votes is that their vote goes for an Elector. This Elector (who is selected by the respective state in which a vote is cast) casts ballots for two individuals, the President and the Vice-President. Each state has the same number of electors as there are Senate and House of Representative members ...
  • Vote For A Candidate
    538 words
    This activity is rational because candidates must gain and maintain public support. The extensive campaign that most candidates go through requires large sums of money. This money is used to become visible to the mass by the media. The media is responsible for linking the elites with the mass. This is why the elites use the media so much. The media portrays the candidates in a light that will get the most ratings. Candidates spend more money to help put a positive spin or a higher approval ratin...
  • Electoral College With Popular Vote Bonus
    5,254 words
    Options for Electoral College Reform The recent presidential election has re-raised the question of electoral college reform, since the presumptive winner of the electoral college lost the popular vote, like Benjamin Harrison did in 1888. Many are saying that if the loser of the popular vote serves as president, he will (like Harrison) be very weakened by a lack of mandate. Therefore quite a few people, including Senator Hillary Clinton, are calling for a constitutional amendment that would elec...

    Voting Everyone in my family who is old enough to vote, registers, and takes a privilege in voting, and knowing that their voice counts. That is why everyone who can vote does vote in every election. Both of my parents have not missed an election, and don't plan on it. My family votes neither democratic nor republican, they vote for both. What I mean by that is that they vote for the best candidate who they think will get the job done. So they would be considered non-partisan. They go about pick...
  • Popular And Electoral Vote
    1,906 words
    Since the fiasco that was the Presidential Election in the year 2000, many Americans have been calling for a reform of the Electoral College.

Bush; the Electoral College did. Last year's circumstance was the first of its kind in over a century. There have been many close elections, but none have result...
  • Electoral College Votes
    794 words
    When Americans vote, each and every vote is not counted, they are voting for the 538 individuals who make up the Electoral College. Most states award their electoral vote to the candidate who has won the popular vote. Let me emphasize, "Most". The campaign for 2004 that was directed towards my generation was "Vote or Die" (MTV 2004), with words as strong as those, a person like myself, would assume my vote actually counted. But, as I learn more about politics, and the whole Electoral College pro...

There on Election Day, they have the right of making their voices heard; however, many interest groups and a few individuals seem to have a louder voice due to campaign financing: No U.S. official should be beholden to one or a few groups. And no group or individual should have a greater claim on our elected leaders than any other. That's th...
  • Petitions For The Recall Of Statewide Officers
    1,049 words
    In order to fully describe the recall procedure and how it works we will elaborate on Governor Gray Davis recall in California.

  • Their Voting Rate
    1,387 words
    Why Should I Vote? The words "to vote" are merely defined as "to participate in an election" but in my opinion, these words have a much greater significance.

Most of our ancestors came to this country to escape monarchs, dictators and corrupt governments. It would be only natural to assume that each and every citizen of America would grab the...
