The Electoral College system has each state assign electors who pledge to vote for the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. Voters cast ballots for their state's electors rather than the candidates directly. This system was devised by the founders to avoid having Congress decide the president and to ease vote counting in an era before widespread long-distance communication. A state's number of electors equals its number of senators plus representatives. While a candidate can win the national popular vote but lose the electoral vote, this has only happened a few times. There is ongoing debate around keeping or replacing the current Electoral College system.

The Electoral College was established in the U.S. Constitution as a compromise between electing the president by popular vote and by Congress. It allocates electoral votes to the states based on their representation in Congress. Most states use a winner-take-all system. On the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, electors from each state meet and cast their votes. These votes are counted by Congress on January 6. A candidate must receive 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. It is possible to win the popular vote but lose the electoral college.Electoral College

The document discusses the Electoral College system in the United States. It explains that when voters cast a ballot for president, they are actually voting for electors who will then vote for the candidate. Each state gets a number of electors equal to its total senators and representatives. Most states follow a "winner-take-all" system where the candidate who receives the most votes in that state gets all of its electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. It is possible to lose the national popular vote but still win the Electoral College.The Electoral College Part I

The document provides an overview of the Electoral College system for electing the US President, including its historical origins, current functioning, and procedures for special situations. It was created as a compromise between electing the President by popular vote and by Congress. States receive electors based on population, and electors generally pledge to the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. The candidate who receives over half the total electoral votes wins.Qin and han

The document summarizes the history of China under the Qin and Han dynasties. It describes how the Qin dynasty first unified China under Emperor Qin Shihuangdi through standardization policies and large public works projects, but faced resistance and collapsed after the emperor's death. The Han dynasty then ruled China for over 400 years through a period of expansion and population growth, though instability grew due to overtaxation and rebellions over time.Imperialism

Imperialism allowed European powers to conquer foreign lands and control their resources for economic, political, and cultural reasons. Advances in technology like steamships, railroads, canals, weaponry, and communication gave Europeans military and logistical advantages over other regions. Between the late 1800s-early 1900s, Europeans colonized most of Asia, Africa, Oceania, and parts of North and South America. The consequences of imperialism included fostering economic dependence, large-scale migration, conflicts with indigenous groups, the rise of scientific racism, and challenges to colonial rule.The Electoral College

The Electoral College is a system where each state is allocated a number of "electoral votes" based on the number of representatives and senators it has. Candidates must receive a majority (270 votes) of the total electoral votes to win the presidency. Most states use a "winner-take-all" system where the candidate who receives the most votes in that state gets all of its electoral votes. Two exceptions are Maine and Nebraska, which divide some electoral votes among congressional districts. The electors then formally cast their votes, and if no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives decides the election.

The document discusses elections and representation in democracies. It explains that in large communities, it is not possible for all people to directly govern, so democracies rely on elections of representatives. Elections are necessary to allow people to choose their representatives and change them if desired. For elections to be considered democratic, they must meet certain criteria like regular voting where all votes have equal value, choice among candidates, and results that reflect the people's preferences. The document examines how Indian elections measure up to these democratic standards.Electoral politics 9th cbse

The President of the United States is elected every four years through a complex process outlined in the Constitution. Candidates must be at least 35 years old, a natural born US citizen, and have lived in the country for at least 14 years. Political parties choose their nominees through state primaries and caucuses. In the general election, voters select "electors" who then vote for President in the Electoral College. Whichever candidate wins the most popular votes in a state receives all of its electors. If no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President.Sample: Civics PowerPoint

The Great Awakening in the 1730s-1740s led by Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield revived religious faith but also split churches between old and new views. It emphasized an individual's right to judge faith and reason for themselves. Several new colleges were founded with religious purposes in the aftermath to further train ministers.Native americans in the colonial era

Under the economic system of mercantilism in Colonial America, all trade was controlled and protected by Great Britain for its own benefit. Great Britain dominated trade within and outside the colonies, taking profits, goods, services, and currency to increase its own wealth. Colonists could only export goods to and import goods from Britain using British ships and crews.
Colonists earned money through various jobs like farming, crafts like blacksmithing, and professions like law and medicine. While most colonists were first farmers with small plots of land, they also earned wages for labor or services and purchased goods rather than bartering. Money took various forms including British and colonial paper currency as well as commodity currencies like tobacco. Some colonFood in the colonies

People in colonial America typically ate three main meals per day:
- Breakfast early in the morning often consisted of bread, porridge, beer or cider depending on social class. Wealthier individuals may have had tea or coffee.
- Dinner, the largest meal, was midday and usually included meat like pork or chicken with vegetables depending on season and location.
- Supper in the evening was a light meal before bed and sometimes included leftovers, eggs, gruel or boiled potatoes.
Food options varied regionally but homemade bread was common at every meal as were locally grown or hunted foods with no refrigeration and limited grocery stores.Greece and persia and Hellenistic Era.ppt

The Reformation began in Germany with Martin Luther challenging the authority and practices of the Roman Catholic Church by writing the 95 Theses. This led to the establishment of Protestant denominations like Lutheranism and Calvinism and dissolved the religious unity of Europe. The Catholic Church responded with reforms through councils like Trent but new ideologies like science and deism emerged, shifting authority from the Church to reason and natural laws. Concurrently, economic changes like banking, joint-stock companies, and insurance facilitated the rise of capitalism as governments established conditions supporting private property and commerce.Motives for exploring visuals

European explorers between 1400-1800 established global networks of trade, communication, and transportation using new technologies like the compass, sail designs, and understanding of winds and currents. Their motives included spreading Christianity, finding wealth through trade of gold and other goods, and glory from discovery. Major explorers included Columbus, da Gama, Balboa, and Magellan. Portugal and Spain conquered much of Asia and the Americas, while the Dutch and English later established their own Asian trading posts. Global diseases spread from the mixing of populations in the Americas reduced native populations severely. By 1800, global trade networks had increased the world population to 800 million.The myth of columbus

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.Mastering Soft Tissue Therapy & Sports Taping

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spotssystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AIthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.

Electoral college
- 1. Electoral College (psst...its not really a college)
- 2. What is the Electoral College thang? Each state party (D) or (R) chooses a group of people (electors) who have pledged their votes to that partys presidential candidate. When you (the voter) casts your vote, it goes to the electors, NOT the candidates In essence...we vote for our group of electors, then they go vote for the candidate.
- 3. So, now, why do we do that?? Devised by the founders to resolve 2 concerns: o To avoid the parliamentary model (that is, so the majority party in Congress doesnt get to decide who becomes President) o To ease the process of counting each popular vote. Back in time, travelling to a polling center was not feasible. And it would take forever to get ballots around the country.
- 4. How many electors per state? Each state gets as many electors as senators (2) plus the number of representatives (depends on population). So, for example o MA has 2 senators + 9 representatives=11 electoral votes (as of 2012 election) o Sorry, VT...you only get 3
- 6. What does all this math mean? A president could win the popular vote, but lose the electoral vote and STILL LOSE the presidency (#algore2000) IF the electoral votes are split, the H of Reps casts one vote per state for President, and the senate determines the VP And even more IF the H of R is tied, the President of the Senate (the VP) decides.
- 7. Interesting Tidbit... -Only half of the states legally require their electors to vote for their assigned candidate, which means -Electors are allowed to change their minds regarding who they vote for. -But, this has only happened 5 times in the last 30 years.
- 8. Controversy... Arguments for keeping it this way: the way we have always voted equals out the number of urban to rural votes Arguments against: its an outdated system why shouldnt every vote count?
Editor's Notes
- #3: All the states but 2 use winner take all--win the states popular vote and get all the electors. The exceptions are Nebraska and Maine, who use a proportional system to split up their votes.
- #7: Also in 1824 (John Q. Adams), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes) and 1888 (Benjamin Harrison)
- #8: Electors who switch their votes are called Faithless Electors and dont get invited to many parties...
