3The number of members each state has in the Electoral College depends on its population. A state with a large population has mo

re votes than a state with a small population. For example, California has 55 votes while Alaska has 3. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all of that state’s electoral votes. A candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes to become the next president. How many electoral votes is enough to win? In recent elections, candidates have had to earn at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win.
4In theory, this system should work, and it has worked—most of the time. A few times, however, the system has failed. In these cases, the candidate with fewer popular votes gained enough electoral votes to win the election. This occurred during the 2000 presidential election when more people voted for Al Gore, but George W. Bush earned more electoral votes and became the president. What causes such a breakdown in the system to happen? Let's return to the example of California and Alaska. A single vote in California has the power to override thousands of votes in other states. Imagine that only one person in California casts a vote for Candidate A. That candidate wins the popular vote in California 1–0. He or she gets all of California's 55 electoral votes. Across the country, thousands of voters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Delaware cast their votes for Candidate B. Not one voter casts a vote for Candidate A. These states have a combined 52 electoral votes, which is not enough to beat California's 55. How can the leaders of our country believe that this system is fair?
Based on the information presented in the passage, in which state would a presidential candidate be LEAST LIKELY to campaign?

A) Texas
B) Alaska
C) California
D) New York

Answer: Alaska

Explanation: Since a presidential candidate wants to get as many electoral votes as possible, they should focus on the states that have the greatest population, and therefore, the greatest number of electoral votes. The states of Texas, California and New York all have large populations, while Alaska does not. So, the presidential candidate would be LEAST LIKELY to campaign in Alaska

Which of the following are examples of de facto segregation?
ryzh [129]

The answer options which are examples of de facto segregation are:

B. Government drawing of school districts to create mostly Black or mostly white schools.

C. Refusal of white homeowners to rent or sell to Black people.

De facto segregation can be defined as a type of segregation in which racial, ethnic, or other forms of discrimination continued even though they weren't sanctioned by any legislation or law.

Hence, a de facto segregation generally occurs by fact, circumstances, or customs rather than being backed by any legislation or legally imposed conditions and requirements.

Some examples of de facto segregation include the following;

  • The customary segregation of people based on status or social class in medieval England.
  • Government drawing of school districts to create mostly Black or mostly white schools.
  • The refusal to rent or sell properties to Black people by white homeowners.

5 Steps to get an Incredible Cover Letter?<br><br> HELPPPPP!!!!!! someone answwr it
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Make the cover letter specific to that job. This differentiates you from the mass of folks submitting generic cover letters. Most folks want to hire someone interested in this job not just any job. We want people who are interested and excited about the opportunity. Mention something in the job description that peaked your interest. Mention something you've done/learned that aligns to the job description. Generic cover letters are so common that these first two items can at least put you in the upper half (or higher) of the stack.

Show some personality, but don't lose your focus. It can be good to mention how how your volunteer work or travels taught you a professional lesson, but don't spend a paragraph talking about your cat.

Proofread and then have another person proofread. There is always someone who has a typo or grammar error in the sentence about their writing skills.

Double and triple check that you are attaching/uploading the correct cover letter. Name each file with the company name to help you keep track (something like "Jane Doe Cover Letter Acme Corp.pdf"). It seems like there is always at least one person who attaches a cover letter that references a different job.
