That is why it is possible for a candidate to have less popular votes nationwide and win .. But no candidate who doesn't win a plurality of votes within a state can win that states electoral votes... A candidate to win the President must have 50 % plus 1 in the electoral college .. If no candidate does that then the election goes to the house with each state getting one vote ... The Vice President would be selected by the Senate.<br /><br />Dennis Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006233890393238268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-22022003505620059062016-04-27T11:32:44.541-04:002016-04-27T11:32:44.541-04:00The principal had no issue with lingering voters. ...The principal had no issue with lingering voters. That is a complete perversion of what I wrote, which makes me wonder aout your reading comprehension skills. One parent raised all kinds of concerns that voters would stroll the halls, looking for kids. It was completely irrational and so are you. In reality, every voter came in through the only door they could use to get into the building. Access to the rest of the school was completely blocked off. In addition, a constable in uniform was there the entire day.

Adults cant just wander into schools these days, but election day clearly allows that sort of action. Yeah, totally irrational. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41005280521720890242016-04-27T11:10:44.749-04:002016-04-27T11:10:44.749-04:00Yes, voters are notorious malcontents , who know w...Yes, voters are notorious malcontents , who know what damage they may do to the schools or children. Actually if the schools had there act together, they would take the students down to watch the proceedings, explain about voting and possibly interview some voters. but no they would rather filter out real life experience and replace it with positions endorsed by the NEARay Nemeth Srhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408009881636716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-28045144275666351252016-04-27T09:54:33.014-04:002016-04-27T09:54:33.014-04:00"Actually still very surprised to hear they h...<em>"Actually still very surprised to hear they have voting at schools.

City Hall was hot and muggy as the Air Conditioning was not working ... So hot and muggy that Allentown's Financial Director Brent Hartzell went casual not wearing a suit ... What our poll workers found at 6:00 AM was that the County had not delivered Voting Machines to the precinct ... We sort of assumed that if they did, the incumbent Mayor hid them ... Well after a few calls, we learned that the machines were delivered to the Head Janitor's Office next door --- The Lehigh County Courthouse --- But we were dependent on the Janitor being there to get our machines --- Lucky the Janitor came in early and we were able to get in touch with him and learned that initially he was not aware that the machines were delivered there ... We were prepared to use Emergency ballots if need be but as happened the machines arrived and we quickly put them in service just be 7:00 AM.. During the day we had a number of Assisted ballots but no Provisional Ballots ... One person walked out in disgust when she learned that she could only vote on the questions ... But a surprise occurred in the afternoon when three officials claiming to be from the U.S. Department of Justice arrived to investigate Lehigh County procedures in regard to facilitating Latino's Spanish language needs at the polls ... And also, what procedures are in place to encourage Latino voting ... Throughout the day we had a number of people going to the wrong poll, expecting to register on the same day as the primary, registered the wrong party and wanting to vote in the other party's primary ... And it was obvious as well... Some people came and I will not identify the ethnic group just to vote for one candidate period ...Dennis Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006233890393238268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-27548340663953895432016-04-27T08:36:41.555-04:002016-04-27T08:36:41.555-04:00Actually still very surprised to hear they have vo...Actually still very surprised to hear they have voting at schools.
