How American Presidential Race Is Decided by AchieverBAO(m): 10:33am On Nov 05, 2016 |
ON AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL RACE Do you know Only 548 people choose American President? Do you know that the American people do not elect their president directly through voting? Only 548 people at the electoral college elect the US President. It's not like Nigeria, where we go to the poll to vote directly for our president. Americans don't vote for theirs in that manner. All they do is vote, to determine who is most popular in each state. Each of the 50 States of America has representative at the electoral College, but some states have more numbers of Representatives than the others depending on their population. The more big a state is, the more number of representatives it has at the electoral College and in all, members of the electoral College are 548 in number. If Donald Trump, for example, win majority of votes in Vegas, all representatives of that state at the electoral College votes for Trump. Similarly, if Hillary Clinton win the majority of votes in New York, all representatives of New York at the electoral College vote for Hillary. If Trump win just 15 States for example, which include the biggest States with more representatives and have a total of 270 votes or more, he shall become the President over Hillary Clinton that wins 35 States. Similarly, if Hillary win fewer States, including those with larger population and more representatives at the electoral College, having 270 votes or more, she will emerge President over Trump that wins more States. This is why both candidates are working very hard to win certain large States to gain more electoral College votes. It's not the number of votes you have that matters, it's the number of states you win. Even, it's not the number of states you win, but the numbers of big States. |
