Please detail the electorial vote process?

No.  What happens is:  Each state is assigned a number of electoral votes(the bigger the population the more electoral votes).  If a candidate wins by popular vote in that state, they win those electoral votes.  So after the election is over, whoever has the most electoral votes win.  That is why it is possible to have the most popluar vote over all but still not enough electoral votes to win the election.

Oops, I looked it up.\n\nAn electoral college is a set of electors who are empowered as a deliberative body to elect someone to a particular office. Often these electors represent a different organization or entity with each organization or entity represented by a particular number of electors or with votes weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are simply important persons whose wisdom, it is hoped, would provide a better choice than a larger body.

It's happened in 1888. However the popular does not matter. It is the electorial vote that matters in our system.

We get a black marker and get to connect the arrows (makes you feel like you're back in kindergarten!).  A good question to ask is why do we have so many different ways to vote in the U.S..?  Wouldn't it make sense if we all followed the same process?  And wouldn't it be great if we could all vote via the internet or telephone?  (Surely they can make this a secure system!)   Anyway... thanks for voting!

The Electorial College is who really votes for the President of the United States. This is not a democracy, this is a republic and as such we elect people to make our choices for us. This holds true with the Electorial College. Each state elects people to send to the Electorial College to vote for the President. At times the representatives we send vote in a way that they were not sent to vote. Twice in the history of the United States the popular vote and the Electorial College have differed in who they elected to the Presidency. With over 300 million people, you would not think that one vote would count, but now we know --- just look at florida 2000.

Are u asking how the American president is elected?  Then the answer is by Electoral vote.  Every state has an electoral college, and they are alloted so many votes depending on population.\n\nI want my 10 points!

You may a good point. Additionally, due to "possible" errors with the voting machines, it is be recommended by both parties to take a camera with you to the polling place. Make very sure that when you make your vote, that it registers the way you voted and take a photo for your own records.\nMost importantly, don't forget to vote.

Around election time, each party selects a set of electors to represent their party.  The number of electors for each state is determined by the number of congress people in each state.  A state like Wyoming would have 3 electors (2 senators and one representative) while pennsylvania has 21 electors (2 senators and 17 representatives).  Only exception is D.C. who gets 3 electors.\n\nOn election day, as each winner is announced in each state, that means that that party's set of electors gets to go to their state capitol and cast their votes for president and vice-president.  There are a total of 538 electors (100 senators, 435 representatives, and 3 additional electors from Washington D.C.)  You must get at least 50.1% of the total electors, so 270 electoral votes is what is needed to become president.\n\nIf by some chance there is a tie, or no one reaches the 270 mark, the decision goes to Congress, and they decide who the next president and vice-president will be.

I'm afraid our election system gets pretty complicated but there's plenty of information available. So, here's a few places for further reading! Wikipedia is a great place to start looking for basic information on any topic. You'll also find more links there.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_house\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_house\n\nCongratulations on learning about our system!

No... there needs to be no electronic involvement.  Votes need to be done on paper, countable, and recountable.  We must have a system that can be verified and legitimized.  I have already volunteered to spend many, many hours counting ballots (along with two others).

That will be decided in the November election. It has not yet been given a number. You will get a pamphlet with all the election information closer to the election.

There is one thing for  sure. There should always be a paper vote. There is no way to verify results without one.  Do not use a ballot with chads, just a plain piece of paper. with a hole punched in it. That eliminates the BS we all suffered during the 2000 election. Next, the ballots should be counted right there,  With representatives from both parties present. Not allowed by law to be moved. And finally, All voters must present a voter I.D. That would resolve most voter fraud.
