Why do presidential campaigns focus heavily on swing voters and battle ground states?
Because with the exception of a very few presidential elections (Roosevelt versus Landon, Johnson versus Goldwater), most Presidential elections find Americans voting pretty close to 50/50. Extra votes that can be picked up by effective campaigning for swing voters and battleground (meaning virtually tied) states can make the difference.
What presidential election had the lowest voter turnout?
Across the democratic world, excluding countries with compulsory voting, voter turnout is at its highest at federal or national general elections. This is generally because these elections are heavily publicised in the press, dominate the public affairs agenda for the duration of their campaigns and are regarded as being of high importance to the electorate - as well as being directly relevant to their daily and/or political lives. In contrast, in most jurisdictions, turnout is comparatively low in local, regional, municipal or state elections, largely because they are not as well publicised and considered less important by most electors. In the United Kingdom for example, it is not uncommon for turnout at annual local elections to be half - or even less than half - the turnout of the average general election. It is worth noting that in nations with an elected executive (i.e., President), turnout in presidential elections is usually higher than those at legislative ones, especially if legislative elections take place on a separate date. For example, at the 2012 French presidential election, turnout at the second round was 80.5% - at the legislative elections just a month later, it was only 57.2%.

Why is Ohio so important in Presidential race?
Ohio is so important in the election season because it is a swing state. This means it is one of the few states in the Union that is not heavily Democratic or Republican and can vote either way. These states are often what decides the outcome of the election. Florida and Nevada are other swing states. Ohio has been a swing state in most Presidential elections, in large part because its population mirrors that of the US as a whole. No Republican candidate has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio's 18 electoral votes, the most of any swing state except Florida (27 votes), which has only really been competitive since the extremely close 2000 election.
Why does South Korea have a president?
The original Constitution of the Republic of Korea in 1948 was heavily influenced by the occupying US-soldiers, and, as a result, they modeled the Korean system on the US system. One of these similarities was the creation of a Presidential Republic.Admittedly, the President of Korea from 1948-1987 was more of a strongman than a democratic president would be. However, the Constitution of 1987 established a much more democratic and diminished role for the President, even though he is still the most powerful person in Korea.
