Bascially it translates to: I am aware that this action has risks (probability of losing); neverhtless, I think I may win (a greater probaility of winning).

How can a candidate win the popular vote but lose the election?

A candidate can win the popular vote but lose the election if they receive more votes from the general public but fewer electoral votes from the Electoral College. The Electoral College system in the United States determines the winner of the presidential election based on the number of electoral votes each candidate receives, rather than the total number of popular votes nationwide.

Women would likely not lose power in an agrarian society. In fact, one historical problem with industrialism, according to feminist critiques, is that older, agricultural societies were amenable to women because economic relations in production were more equitable.

What right does a non custodial parent lose when they are incarcerated and pay no support?

Does a parent lose custody of child when the parent becomes incarcerated in the state of Missouri?

Think about this: Can the parent bring the child along to the Missouri Prison system to be raised by her? Probably not. Someone else has to have custody of the child while the mother is incarcerated. Probably, being incarcerated does NOT mean that the mother loses all parental rights. That's another matter, and usually takes some time to arrange.

You REALLY need to contact your state's Dept of Children and Family Services (or equivelant) for specific information. BUT - as a general statement, once he is released he will not necessarily lose his visitation rights. However, he will obviously not be able to assist with child support while he is incarcerated.

Can people who have been in prison vote today?

The ability of individuals who have been in prison to vote varies by jurisdiction. In some places, individuals retain their voting rights even while incarcerated, while in others, they may lose their voting rights during their prison sentence and potentially face additional restrictions after release. Many states have made efforts to restore voting rights to felons, but the specific laws and processes differ widely across the country. It's important to check the local laws for the most accurate information.


Do people in jail lose their human rights?

From what I understand of what I just read on prisoner's rights, there are some that cannot be denied, proper nutritional food and water, medical and dental care, religious practices and material that do not promote violence or disobedience to the law, and the right to due process of the law as long as the case is not frivolous These may not be all of a prisoner's rights but access to that information can be obtained easily at any library. I do know that what we believe as our inalienable rights, which are given to all citizens of the United States are not afforded to prisoners. That is because the prisoner loses those rights when convicted and as long as he/she is incarcerated. That is as it should be. All prisoners should be treated humanely and have their basic needs to sustain descent health and nutrition met, everything else given to them is lagniappe, as we Louisianans say ( a little extra). I am not a lawyer. All of this information and more can be easily found on the Internet

Are any US citizens excluded from voting in national state or local elections on grounds such as incarceration or mental illness?

Each state has different voting laws. Several states do exclude incarcerated prisoners to vote such as Kentucky and Louisiana. Some states do allow voting in national, state, and local elections. People with mental illnesses can vote if they are able too. Any U.S citizen that has been told they can't vote needs to find an attorney.

Can prisoners vote?

The rights of prisoners are generally suspended until they have served their time. Once they are reintroduced into society, their rights to vote can be restored. Although, I believe that the prisoner's voting rights should be seized or given back depending on their crime.
