Voting

trials and triumphs that others are. I have learned a great deal about using my “sociological imagination” through the campaigning I did in the Republican Primary. When you are knocking on someone's door to simply ask them, "may I ask who you're voting for?". You have to be willing to see things from a different point of view. I was mainly targeting voters who fell into my party, but with this primary season we had lots of candidates that represented different groups and ideas. Since I was…

How would you feel if your vote in deciding the next president of our country didn’t matter? Well, this is true for many people due to our broken Electoral College system of voting.

presidential campaign hired Simulmatics Corporation to estimate the political effect of various campaign tactics Kennedy could pursue. Though Simulmatics would later dip its feet in many fields, it was incorporated in 1959 with the sole purpose of modeling voting behavior, and its work with the Kennedy campaign was its first contract. Their computer simulations drew heavily on Voting’s model of opinion formation. William McPhee, a co-author of the study, was one of three founders of…

these people would be appointed or who would appoint them, but it was rather a decision made by each state as to how. This system was supposed to support the “many” implemented but the Anti-Federalist over the “few” the Federalists preference. The voting rights have changed over the past few decades in favor of creating a more democratic system that was in favor for the “many.” This idea if favored by the Anti-Federalists whom have worked hard to create a more fair system.…

the government to respond to your concerns is to be involved in the voting process,” said Dr. Steven Galatas, SFA professor and political scientist. “Know who the candidates are and what they stand for.” The Texas Primary Election allows Texas residents to nominate whom they wish to see as a primary candidate for the presidential election. The voting in this year’s primary will be determined by indirect ballot. This means the voting ballot will contain the names of delegates in a party rather…

it was held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles with Michael Cordan hosting for the first time. I thought this would be interesting to use a video about the event of the Grammys to describe Hayakawa's work though it. Since the grammys consist of voting and winning here…
