The Electoral College is the way that Presidents of the United States gain the office of the presidency.  Each state has a specified number of delegates, and the popular vote in each state determines how the state's designated electors are to vote.  In this way, the President is chosen not solely on the basis of the national popular vote totals, but more so on the basis of state-by state vote totals.

As defined by the US National Archives, "The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.   The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress."

Electoral votes are allocated among the states based on the Census. Every state is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its members in the U. S. House of Representatives.

So the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.

Why has the influx of immigrants to Europe created challenges?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D. Immigrants may not have the skills necessary to find work

Explanation:

The majority of the immigrants that came into Europe in the past few years mostly moved into the most developed countries of Western Europe and Scandinavia. These countries offered very good conditions for the immigrants so that is why they preferred them. The problems is that the majority of the immigrants came from less developed countries where the economies are totally different. Because of that, the majority of them have skills that are suitable for those types of economy, but do not posses the skills to be effective and productive in the well developed industrialized economies. This resulted in the majority of them to be not be able to find proper work, and they are using money from the social welfare, which in turn is not seen fondly by the native population who contributes for those money.
