Elections in the US
  • the presidential election is a general election that occurs on the first Tuesday of November, every four years.
  • primary elections, also referred to as primaries, allow voters to choose a candidate they want to run in the general election for a specific political party.
  • When electing a president, candidates are officially confirmed for the general election at a party convention
  • While the primaries allow voters to cast their ballots for a candidate, conventions have party representatives, called delegates, who formally cast a vote for the candidate chosen during the primaries in their state.

Slide 11 - Slide

Gerrymandering
  • Another popular and controversial topic discussed around elections is gerrymandering
  • Gerrymandering refers to the process of creating voting districts in a way that favors a particular party, usually the party in power at the state and local level when districting occurs. 
  • Because representatives and state legislators are elected by the constituents in their districts, drawing a district in a specific way can unfairly allow a party to maximize the number of their elected candidates. 
  • Gerrymandering can also create a situation where a non-majority party wins a majority of seats or elects a particular candidate.
