Let's also remember
that, because the Democratic Party goofed up, they had to give their
'Independent socialist party member'
a large number of Electoral College votes.

Down to basics!
The political Party

So, as in now,

Rodham Clinton
Emails!
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON,
as it currently stands,
no matter if you like her or not, will go down in history as the most qualified
person to ever run for President of the United States of America. Clinton won
the presidential primary, solidifying herself as the first woman to ever secure
the nomination for a major political party. Avowing this achievement, Clinton
herself stated, during the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia,
“I can’t believe we just put the biggest crack in that [political] glass
ceiling yet.”
What is the
Electoral College?
The Electoral
College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the
electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of
the electoral votes by Congress.
The Electoral
College consists of 538 electors
The Electoral
College is a process, not a place.
The founding fathers
established it in the Constitution
as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and
election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The Electoral
College process consists of the selection
of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President
and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.
The Electoral
College consists of 538 electors.
A majority of 270
electoral votes is required to elect the President.
Your state’s
entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its
Congressional delegation:
one for each member
in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.

allocation of electoral votes.
Under the 23rd
Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3
electors and treated like a state for purposes of the Electoral College.
For this reason, in
the following discussion, the word
“state”
also refers to the
District of Columbia.
Each candidate
running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors.
The electors are
generally chosen by the candidate’s political party,
but state laws vary
on
and
what their
responsibilities are.

of the Electors and restrictions
on who the Electors may vote for.
The presidential
election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November.
You help choose your
state’s electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your
candidate you are actually voting for your candidate’s electors.
Most states have a
“winner-take-all”
system
that awards all
electors to the winning presidential candidate.
However, Maine and
Nebraska each have a variation of
“proportional
representation.”

After the
presidential election, your governor prepares a “Certificate of Ascertainment”
listing all of the
candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their
respective electors.
The Certificate of
Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state
and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the
electors in December of the election year. Your stateÂ’s Certificates of
Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of
the official records of the presidential election. See the key
dates for the 2016 election and information about the
roles and responsibilities of state officials, the
Office of the Federal Register and the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA), and the Congress
in the Electoral College process.
The meeting of the
electors takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December
after the presidential election. The electors meet in their respective states,
where they cast their votes for President and Vice President on separate ballots.
Your state’s electors’ votes are recorded on a “Certificate of Vote,” which is
prepared at the meeting by the electors. Your state’s Certificates of Votes are
sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records
of the presidential election. See the key
dates for the 2016 election and information about the
roles and responsibilities of state officials and the Congress
in the Electoral College process.
Each state’s
electoral votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on the 6th of
January in the year following the meeting of the electors. Members of the House
and Senate meet in the House chamber to conduct the official tally of electoral
votes. See the key
dates for the 2016 election and information about the role and
responsibilities of Congress
in the Electoral College process.
The Vice President,
as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results
of the vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any,
have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.
The President-Elect
takes the oath of office and is sworn in as President of the United States on
January 20th in the year following the Presidential election.

The Office
of the Federal Register coordinates the functions of the Electoral College
on behalf of the Archivist of the United States, the States, the Congress, and
the American People. The Office of the Federal Register operates as an
intermediary between the governors and secretaries of state of the States and
the Congress. It also acts as a trusted agent of the Congress in the sense that
it is responsible for reviewing the legal sufficiency of the certificates
before the House and Senate accept them as evidence of official State action.
