A2 G&P presidential elections and candidate requirementsOliver Pratten
The document discusses the process and requirements for US presidential elections. It explains that presidential elections occur every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. There are four main stages: primaries and caucuses from January to June where parties choose candidates; national conventions in August/September where candidates are officially nominated; the general election campaign from September to November; and election day in November followed by the electoral college vote. Constitutional requirements to be president are being a natural born US citizen, at least 35 years old, and a 14 year residency. Other helpful requirements include political experience, major party endorsement, personal characteristics like being married, ability to raise money, effective organization, public speaking skills, and having relevant policies.

This document outlines key concepts related to US campaign finance, including open and closed primaries, soft and hard money, and negative campaigning. It then discusses the history of campaign finance reform in the US, including the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974 that set spending limits and disclosure rules in response to Watergate, but was weakened over time. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 further reformed rules around soft money and issue ads, but new groups like 527s still spent millions in elections.
This document provides an outline of key concepts related to US government and politics elections, including primaries, caucuses, campaign financing, and direct democracy measures like referendums, initiatives, and recalls.

This document provides an overview of key concepts related to US national party conventions, including:
1) The formal functions of conventions are to choose presidential candidates, vice presidential candidates, and decide party platforms, but these functions have been lost as candidates are now chosen in primaries and caucuses.
2) The informal, but important, functions of conventions now are to promote party unity, enthuse party members, and enthuse ordinary voters in the lead up to the general election.
3) While the formal functions have been lost, conventions still serve important purposes through their ability to rally support and motivate different groups in the run up to the November election.
A2 G&P the electoral college and how it worksOliver Pratten
This document provides an overview of the US Electoral College system. It describes how electors are chosen and allocated to each state based on representatives. It explains that electors vote for president and vice president, and the candidates who receive an absolute majority of electoral votes win. If no candidate achieves a majority, the House of Representatives and Senate decide the winner. The document outlines arguments both for and against the Electoral College system.
This document discusses the history and process of presidential elections in the United States.

The document also examines debates around the strengths and weaknesses of the current electoral system.
This document summarizes key points about redistricting and the 2012 elections in California:
1) For the first time since 1992, legislators and members of Congress will run in districts not drawn by politicians due to redistricting. Many incumbents will run in significantly redrawn districts.
2) Turnout will be impacted by the consolidation of the presidential and other primaries to June 2012. Presidential primaries typically see much higher turnout.
3) With the top two primary system, the notion of "safe" districts no longer applies as candidates from the same party could face off in the general election. This puts more pressure on fundraising.
4) Demographic changes like growing Latino and Asian
The document discusses the history of voting rights and political participation in Texas. It describes how, before the Civil War, slaves had no voting rights, and after the Civil War black men gained voting rights which were then restricted when Democrats regained control.

2) The primaries and caucuses where each state selects delegates to support candidates at national conventions.
3) The national conventions where the major parties select their presidential nominee and vice presidential candidate.
4) The general election campaign where the nominees attempt to persuade voters.
5) Election Day in November and the Electoral College process to formally elect the president.

The election process is at the core of democracy in the United States. While most election law is determined by states, the Constitution gives Congress the power to set the date of federal elections. Congress has established the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as federal election day. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 aimed to modernize elections through measures such as computerizing voter registration and allowing provisional ballots. Early voting and absentee voting allow people to vote without going to polling places on election day.

The document discusses the past, present, and future role of minor political parties in the United States. In the past, minor parties influenced key elections such as 1912, 1948, and 1968. Today, minor parties still play an important role as seen in the 1992 and 2000 elections. The author argues that in the future, minor parties will have an increasing impact and may eventually replace the two party system within 30 years, giving voters more options.
Virginia will hold statewide elections on November 7th, 2017 to elect a new governor, lieutenant governor, and House of Delegates members. The governor's race is highly contested between Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican Ed Gillespie. Northam currently leads in polls as the incumbent lieutenant governor. Justin Fairfax and Jill Holtzman Vogel are competing for lieutenant governor. Two incumbent delegates, Democrat David Toscano and Republican Bill Howell, are also running for reelection.

Recent polls show Murphy with a significant lead over Guadagno and other candidates
The document discusses the original process for electing the U.S. president established by the framers of the Constitution, how political parties emerged and changed this process, and the modern presidential nomination process. Originally, electors cast two votes for president and the top vote getter would win, with the runner up becoming vice president. The rise of parties in the 1790s exposed flaws, leading to the 12th Amendment requiring separate electoral college votes for president and vice president. Today, the two major parties use a mix of primaries and caucuses to select delegates who vote on candidates at the parties' national conventions.
The document summarizes two upcoming Supreme Court cases - United States v. Windsor challenging the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and Perry v. Hollingsworth challenging California's Proposition 8.

The document outlines the positions of both sides and potential outcomes of the cases.
The document discusses the Electoral College system for electing the US President. It explains that the Founding Fathers established the Electoral College as a compromise between direct popular election and election by Congress. Electors cast votes in their state capitals to formally elect the President. While citizens vote for electors pledged to candidates, the electors' votes typically align with the state's popular vote.
The Libertarian party in Indiana has fielded 100 candidates in the 1998 elections, far more than ever before, signaling growth for the third party in a traditionally two-party state. Libertarians believe about half of Indiana residents agree with their platform of smaller government, lower taxes, and greater individual freedom but are unfamiliar with the party. Their message of reducing the size and scope of government appears to be resonating with more voters. While gaining traction could siphon votes from major parties, the Libertarians hope to draw new voters to the polls and their fresh voice could push other parties to reconsider some of their policy stances.
The document discusses factors that affect political participation and voter turnout in the United States. It notes that while Americans vote less than citizens of other countries, they engage in other forms of participation like protests and civic groups. Barriers to voter registration like poll taxes historically suppressed turnout, but reforms like the Motor Voter Act increased registration. Higher education, age 40-70, and race (with African Americans voting at similar rates as whites with the same demographics) are linked to higher turnout.

2010 Post-Election Analysis: President Barack Obama and the Closely Divided 1...Patton Boggs LLP
With Republican candidates having made significant gains in the mid-term elections by capturing the House and increasing their share of the Senate, President Barack Obama faces a starkly different legislative environment as he seeks to advance the balance of his policy agenda and as he runs for reelection in 2012. The President has already accomplished two of his most ambitious legislative goals on which he campaigned—health care reform and financial services reform, but two remain unfulfilled—energy/climate change legislation and immigration reform. And now, notwithstanding the need to create jobs and further stimulate the economy, he will likely add deficit reduction as a third one. Will he go for comprehensive bills or will he try for incremental reform? Will he choose confrontation or compromise at the outset? Will he give up on Congress and try to accomplish as much as possible through regulatory action?
