What else can I help you with?
Is a power of the states to declare war?
No congress votes on that issue but the states can pressure congress into voting either way.
What is a typical way that states divide their electors between candidates?
Most states in the United States use a winner-takes-all system, where the candidate receiving the most votes in the state gets all of its electoral votes. However, Maine and Nebraska employ a proportional allocation method, where electoral votes can be split based on the percentage of votes each candidate receives. This system can lead to varied outcomes, reflecting the political preferences of the state's electorate. Ultimately, the method of dividing electors can significantly influence campaign strategies and the overall electoral landscape.
Which of the following is not an objection to the way the Electoral College works?
The Electoral college gives the same number of votes to all of the states (NovaNET)----the electoral college gives the same number of votes to all of the states (novanet)----
Arizona sends all of their electoral votes to the person who wins the state so I ask do any other states do that or do all others separate the votes?
That is the way that 48 states plus the District of Columbia do it, and each of the other two states gives 2 of its votes to the ticket that wins the state. Of the 538 votes, only 5 of them are based on the winners of federal congressional districts, not counting the 21 votes from the seven states that have one Representative each. The two states are Maine, with two districts, and Nebraska, with three districts.
How do most states determine who wins the electors votes?
All states but Nebraska and Maine use the winner-take-all system to award all their electoral votes to the winner. However, some of the strongly Democratic states, mindful of 2000, add the requirement that all of their votes go to the leader in electoral votes. Nebraska and Maine give two votes to the state-wide leader and award the others to the leader in each Congressional district.
What change did the new western states make that allowed more people to vote?

In which two states did Taft win electoral votes?
Taft was elected President of the United States in 1908. In 1912, however, in a four-way race, Taft came in third, winning electoral votes only in Vermont and Utah.
What is the minimum number of states that a candidate needs to win the election?
You need at least 270 electoral votes to win. The fewest number of states you could win is 11. They would have to be: Ca-55, Tx-34, Fl-27, Ga-15, Nc-15, NJ-15, Pa-21, Ny-31, Oh-20, Mi-17, Il-17 No other combination of 11 states could give you 270 electoral votes. Conversely you could win 39 states and DC and still lose. It should be noted that the residents of USA. territories cannot vote for The President. If they were given electoral votes the same way that states were this answer could change to 10 because you could make up the remainder with territorial votes. If however each territory was given three votes (as would be expected as that is the minimum number given to a state) then a candidate would need 277 votes and the answer would actually change to 12. If the electoral college were eliminated in favor of a popular vote system (which it should be) than you would not have to win any states as long as you won at least one territory.
Why Is it possible for a presidential candidate to receive the majority of the popular votes in the US but still lose the election?
Because of the electoral college.The way US Presidential elections work is that the candidate who wins the popular vote in a state receives all the electoral votes of that state (there are a couple of states that do it differently, but most of them are "winner take all").It doesn't matter if you win in that state by one vote or unanimously, you get all the electoral votes. So if you win the states you win by large margins and lose the states you lose by small margins, it's entirely possible for the overall number of votes to show you as the winner, but for you to lose due to receiving fewer electoral votes than your opponent.
On which state would a candidate concentrate their presidential campaign?
Candidates concentrate on states where they believe they have a chance to win, but do not have wrapped up, the so-called battle-ground states. Among these states, those with the most electoral votes get the biggest effort. Small states and those which always vote the same way do not get much attention.
What is the quickest way for the president to reach 270 votes?
That depends on the party and the situation at the time of the election. In recent years, several states are considered to be locked into one party or the other already. DC, for example, can always be counted on to vote for the Democratic candidate. Thus each candidate figures how many votes they have already and then tries to figure where to go for the balance needed to reach 270. The fastest way is to focus on the largest of the contested states.
What are music charts?
It's a way to rank the most popular songs of the day (from most popular to least). Most of the time, it's based on the people's votes.
