Elections

It’s me, Charlotte. The 1996 Presidential Election was two days ago. The Democrat nominee Bill Clinton, won his second term. His Vice President candidate is Al Gore. He beat the Republican Bob Dole and Jack Kemp. Kemp is Dole’s Vice President candidate. Although Clinton got 379 electoral votes and Dole got 159 electoral votes, the popular vote looks much closer. Clinton got about forty-seven million votes and Dole got about thirty-nine million votes. I think that it is great that lots of people…

There are two kinds of elections in The United States, general and primary election. General election is used to fill an elective office. A primary election is intended to select a party's candidates for the elective office, though in fact those who vote primary election may or may not consider themselves party members. The candidate will need to spell out the differences rather sharply with their opponent, even though the opinion may not differ all that much on key issues. A primary campaign is…

have a few similarities, such as the elections taking place every four years and the voting age being 18. The swedish election process is much less complicated and way shorter than the american process. And I think it does affect the voter turnout. According to Statistic Brain 2016, only 57 percent of americans eligible to vote voted in the 2012 Presidential election. Meanwhile in Sweden 85.81 percent voted. My hypothesis is that because the american election is such a drawn out process, many…

The media has provided voters with more and more information throughout the years through the broadcasting. It is controversial weather or not voters knowing too much…

media. Free media is relatively inexpensive, but must not be taken for granted. As the campaign progresses, media goals will change. In the beginning it may be about getting my name out, and towards the end it will be about having maximum exposure as Election Day approaches. News releases are influential to the campaign. Determining when to release information could make or break a campaign. Coverage can be necessary to build my credibility, assisting in fundraising or for volunteer recruitment.…

all remember the 2000 election. I was only a junior, but its still burnt in my head. All I heard was, “Bush did this!”, and “Gore did that!” Even some of my friends were talking about how the Florida count was bogus. But, what about the election of 1876? There wasn't CNN back then, or Facebook status posts on what happened during the election. Lets compare, and see which one was “more fair or not.” My opinion, the election of 2000 was more unfair. Here is why The election of 1876, the…

The 2000 election was a nail biter to say the least. With the deciding factor of who the next president of our country would be coming down to a slim margin, tensions rose between the Republican and Democratic candidates. The accuracy of the votes were questioned by the Democratic Party leading to a series of lawsuit filed in need for a complete recount, due to some flaws in the election system, to be completely sure that Bush won the election. In doing so, this made the politicians have to…

This presidential election was the the first one that I could vote in and I am sure it was many of your first as well. With that being said, I haven’t fallowed the other elections as close to know how ugly they were in the past. Based on my experience of this election I think it was an extremely hard and ugly election. It was not only ugly between candidates and parties but also between friends and families. I think elections are going to bring out the worst and candidates are going to bring…
