supporters…The dark clouds of conspiracy never left the administration, and the disputed election severely weakened Adams” (Marquis 2008). Anytime there is not a clear winner of an election, the losing side will usually claim something unfair went on. That is really bad for the country and for the president elect because it hurts the amount of support he will receive. If there is a way to prevent confusion like in this election, it should be done. During the time from 1824 there have been to…

in 1993 has forbidden any elections from taking place. Political theorist, Robert Dahl, considers the following four aspects vital for the making of a free and fair election: 1. the ability to vote without fear of reprisal; 2. coercion is prohibited and not practiced; 3. all voters are counted as equal; 4. voting must take place frequently. If these requirements are applied to Eritrea it will undoubtedly be evident that the country does not conduct free or fair elections. On the other hand, if…

The 2016 presidential election was a unique election cycle in the sense that it did not follow normal election cycle protocol, and the result was one that has rarely occurred in American history, where a candidate wins the popular vote, yet loses the Electoral College and the presidency. A small majority of Americans wanted Secretary Clinton to be President, yet Mr. Trump won the Electoral College and 2016 Presidential Election. Even though Secretary Clinton won the popular vote, she still lost…

Most states have a “winner-take-all’ system that gives all electors to the winning presidential…

Presidential election. However, what we didn’t anticipate, was how dominating the election would be over our lives-- we simply thought, come voting day, that we’d walk in and easily choose the candidate of our choice. There was no anticipation of the fact that we’d also be freshly enrolled in college, an environment so tuned in to politics. However, we’re here now, and discussions of the 2016 elections have been rampant among students. In the interview I conducted regarding the elections, it is…

experiment and also an aggregate-level analysis during the senate elections of 1992. The results of the experiment demonstrated that the participants that were shown negative adverts of real candidates (so adverts attacking another candidate) were 5% less likely to participate in a hypothetical election process, than those that were presented positive adverts.
