Why is the Electoral College considered "51 separate elections" instead of one national election?

History

Irina18 [472]4 years ago

Answer:

Because each person does not actually vote for a president. When we vote for a candidate we are actually voting for a group of electors, to elect our president off of each states popular vote excluding Maine which does proportional voting.

Explanation:

Let's say you live in Kansas and electoral votes are based off of number of Congressmen/women which totals 6 2 senators and 4 reps which equals 6 electoral votes. A person voting in this state is voting either for 6 republican electors or democratic electors. When you vote for a candidate if that state goes republican those 6 GOP electors vote for the nominee that the state won. Washington D.C gets three electors even though it is not a state. So each state holds a separate elections since we all are voting for electors of the party you vote for. As well as D.C which that right was given to them in the 70s.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Generally, progressive reforms, gender role changes, unequal economic gains and cultural seeming permisiveness provoke resistance from more conservative sectors. This is so because the creation or acceptance of new rights implies a transfer of power by the most powerful sectors, which are those who generally support conservative policies, while seeking to maintain the status quo.

Thus, conservatives consider that this type of transfer of rights expands the powers of other social groups, in turn diminishing their own rights and powers. Therefore, tensions are generated between the two groups, which are resolved through political agreements.
