Publisher description
Excerpt from Many Things About the United States of AmericaTechnically speaking, the President is not elected by the people and the people do not vote directly for any presidential candidate. They cast their ballots for electors and these electors choose a President and vice-president. In each State the number of elec tors is equal to the number of Senators and Representatives which the State has in Congress. Each party has an Electoral ticket with the names of its electors printed on it.The electoral ticket which receives the greatest number of popular ballots in the State, would be chosen by the people, and the electors named on it, will be entitled to give their votes for the candidate whom they represent. 3' The electors who are chosen will meet in each State on the second Monday in January, and cast their votes for a President and vice-president. AS a matter of law, they can then vote for whom they please. As a matter of usage and public trust, they are expected to vote for the candidate whom they are pledged to support.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
