Presidential candidates

lose seats in most elections; however, incumbents have a strong propensity for winning reelection. The average campaign cost for a House of Representatives seat is over $1.7 million and the average cost for a Senate race is $10.5 million. Thus, candidates spend numerous hours raising money over the phone, through the mail, and at fundraising events. The money raised pays for everything from television ads to campaign paraphernalia.

people see the candidate constantly and keeping up with what they stand for and will try to accomplish. The electoral college no longer needs to make the decision, because we can now make that decision. Proponents of the Electoral College often claim that the "winner take all" arrangement gives a state more attention, but the exact opposite is true for states with one-sided races. If the Electoral College is abolished, all voters will be equally important, as they should be, and candidates will have a

The United States Election Process With the 2016 presidential election on its way, with two of the most polarizing candidates ever. And one who shared that if he loses then the “System is rigged”. With Congressional approval rating at 17%, politics in the U.S appears rotten. Which is what the freackanomics episode I listened to, “10 ways to make politics less rotten” was about. But how may know how the U.S election cycle actually works? The process can be quite complicated and confusing at times

my opinion I believe the Electoral college is “an embarrassment to America’s democracy” as it is said in the argumentative statement. The Americans voting system for presidency doesn’t allow individuals in the society vote to count towards the presidential nomination. Furthermore, individuals in the American society can even say that our vote is pointless because of the Electoral College, which is a group of people that can vote however they want even if most of the people in the American society

are instead divided among the 50 states in America. Currently, people are suggesting who their state should pick for president. Simply put, if a state has a majority of votes for one candidate (however small the majority is) that candidate gets all the electoral votes from said state; winner takes all. So, a candidate must win over half of the voting population in enough states to get the majority of electoral votes to win the election. But that’s not all, these said electors aren’t nailed down to

Should a responsible citizen vote? During the presidential election of 2016 there have been two candidates have been chosen to represent both political parties. The Democratic party selected former Secretary of State and former first lady Hilary Clinton as for the Republican party Donald Trump was selected for their presidential candidate. During the presidential election of 2017 citizens cased there votes with Hilary Clinton winning the popular vote and Donald Trump winning the electoral vote.

choices that stand any chance of winning and their decisions between those two candidates are

Contrastingly, the three dramatic mass media presidential campaigns differed in the following ways. Starting with the 1960 campaign, it was the first of its kind and so all that was broadcasted was not advanced as compared to the debates that succeeded. The 1960 Kennedy/Nixon debate was broadcasted live from a television studio unlike other debates that followed (Webley, 2010). Else too; the images were not clear – they lacked quality definition due the fact that the technology used then was

time to time stating that “if something is not broke don’t fix it.” It seems to be thrown around all the time after a president has been chosen in America usually by the winning side, meanwhile, the opposing side always complains how unfair the presidential election is. Some people say this is the way our founding fathers chose our country to always work and there is no reason to go back to tweak the process. To better understand what certain electoral college supporters, mean by not changing what

choice.” So we have elections, they help to solve this problem because they are ideally competitive. The competition creates incentives for candidates to give information about themselves and to make most of that information accurate since their opponent will call them out for any statements that are less than truthful. Elections supposedly also makes candidates more accountable since they provide voters a chance to get rid of the bad impersonators. The Election you might think is important enough
