They also impact the political environment surrounding the elections. As is their purpose campaigns play a large role in the election process. Campaigns are reliant on human nature.

for the election of the most important position in the world, the President of the United States. The Electoral College makes it so not all votes are counted equally. In 2008, 70.39% of votes had no impact on the election. In 2000, 79.28% of the votes did not matter ("Problems with the Electoral College-Fairvote"). In all but two states, Maine and Nebraska, if a candidate gets even 50.1% of the votes it means the other 49.9% of votes do not count at all. This process skews elections…

plain folks. The primary strategy of the buttons was ethical, as one of the buttons had the statement “Asian Americans For Mondale Ferraro.” This appealed to the Asian Americans, as they were the ones being targeted. The evidence…

American citizens rarely have the privilege to vote in an election that has avoided the dilemma of choosing a presumed lesser evil or that has escaped society’s ostracizing grasp from doing so. The presidential election of 2016, is without a doubt, a prime example of such an exhausting and frustrating decision. However, with the help of the questionnaire isidewith.com provides, the…

wanted elected and then tell me why. I remember her always telling me to choose if I wanted to be a democrat or a republican. One day I asked my mom why I couldn’t register as an independent and she told me that I would not be able to vote during primaries. When I was able to register to vote I registered as a democrat even though I am an independent at heart. In my opinion the two major obstacles that stand in the way of the independent candidates is closed ballots, and campaigns. I would…
