ELECTING THE PRESIDENT ARE WE A DEMOCRACY? ELECTING THE PRESIDENT

WHO ELECTS THE PRESIDENT? THE PEOPLE? WRONG. ANSWERS? THE VOTERS? WRONG THE CONGRESS? WRONG.

Don Abernathy Dodie Allen Charles Barrett Michael Esser Barbara Hines Robert Levy Paul Penney Felice Pete James Art Pope James Proctor David Ruden Mary Jo Shepherd William Shillito Garry Terry Ashley Woolard

THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok_VQ8I7g6I&safe=active

Because of this system, it is possible for one candidate to GET MORE VOTES FROM THE PEOPLE, but for another candidate to GET MORE VOTES FROM THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. When that happens, the person who GOT MORE VOTES FROM THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE WINS. THAT HAS HAPPPENED ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME.

WORKING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE COMPUTER SHEETS WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM WHILE DOING IT, ASK YOURSELF: “IS AMERICA A DEMOCRACY?” ALSO ASK: IS IT IMPORTANT IF I VOTE?
