History

Masja [62]2 years ago

Answer: A. It was the first election in which a woman had a very good chance of winning a major party's nomination.

Explanation: The election to president of the United States of 2008 took place on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. The election determined the voters of the Electoral College of the United States and the presidential candidate who received the majority of the votes (270) by the College. Electoral to be the 44th President of the United States was Barack Obama, while Vice President Joe Biden was the 47th Vice President of the United States. If no presidential candidate had a majority vote of the Electoral College, the president would have been elected by the House of Representatives of the United States, which would have voted for States, and each State would have one vote. Likewise, if there had not been a majority in votes for the office of vice president, the United States Senate would have been in charge of electing it, voting through ballots.
But none of this was necessary, because Obama's victory was incontestable. In fact, the Democratic candidate won that day the support of states that had not supported his party for many years, such as North Carolina (the last time had been in 1976), or Indiana and Virginia (1964). As for the popular vote, Obama obtained the support of 69 498 516 voters, being the highest figure ever achieved by a presidential candidate until today.
As occurred in the 2004 presidential election, the allocation of electoral votes to each state was based partially on the US census for the year 2000. The elected president and vice president took office on Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Simultaneously the elections to the House of Representatives and, in thirty-three states, the elections to the Senate were developed. The governors of eleven states were also elected.
