Selene Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Correct:The Electoral College in BriefThe Electoral College was established by the founding fathers as a compromise between election of the president by Congress and election by popular vote. The electors are a popularly elected body chosen by the States and the District of Columbia on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (November 4, 2008). The Electoral College consists of 538 electors (one for each of 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 Senators; and 3 for the District of Columbia by virtue of the 23rd Amendment). Each State's allotment of electors is equal to the number of House members to which it is entitled plus two Senators. The decennial census is used to reapportion the number of electors allocated among the States.The slates of electors are generally chosen by the political parties. State laws vary on the appointment of electors. The States prepare a list of the slate of electors for the candidate who receives the most popular votes on a Certificate of Ascertainment. The Governor of each State prepares seven original Certificates of Ascertainment. The States send one original, along with two authenticated copies or two additional originals to the Archivist of the United States at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) by registered mail. The Certificates of Ascertainment must be submitted as soon as practicable, but no later than the day after the meetings of the electors, which occur on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (December 15, 2008). The Archivist transmits the originals to NARA's Office of the Federal Register (OFR). The OFR forwards one copy to each House of Congress and retains the original.The electors meet in each State on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (December 15, 2008). A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President and Vice President. No Constitutional provision or Federal law requires electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their State.The electors prepare six original Certificates of Vote and annex a Certificate of Ascertainment to each one. Each Certificate of Vote lists all persons voted for as President and the number of electors voting for each person and separately lists all persons voted for as Vice President and the number of electors voting for each person.If no presidential candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for the presidential election to be decided by the House of Representatives. The House would select the President by majority vote, choosing from the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by State, with each State delegation having one vote. If no Vice Presidential candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the Senate would select the Vice President by majority vote, with each Senator choosing from the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes.

Mikee Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 There will be significant destruction of property whether Obama wins or loses, perpetrated by the same individuals in both cases. If Obama wins those contemptuous of property rights will destroy property in celebration, if he loses they will destroy much more property in rage. Expect a Rodney King reaction writ large.

I don't think the Nightmare will happen, but if it does it will be the biggest thing since the Nat Turner rebellion. The Watts Riot only lasted a few days. The Nat Turner rebellion went on for weeks and weeks. Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrakusos Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Senator Obama and Senator Biden will be elected President and Vice President.The change from the Republican Party to a Democratic Party administration was approved two years agp in Davos, Switzerland. Last year, the candidates for primaries were nominated and approved -- and of course, as part of the theater, others were expected to enter and withdraw.The real struggle was between the Clinton-Rockefellar faction and the Obama-Kennedy faction. It looked like Clinton for a while, but apparently, she either bargained too hard or failed to come up gravy. Anyway, this has been a lock for about six months. Everything else is just television.
