The election for the next President of the United States of America will be held on Nov. 4th (Mr. Kramer's birthday). Presidential elections are not as simple as "whoever gets the most votes wins". There is something called an Electoral College, which actually elects the President. "Electors" are appointed by state based on population. The voters in each state vote to send their "Electors" to the "College" to cast a vote for their canidate. A canidate must recieve 270 Electoral votes to win. Use the link to explore the web site 270towin.com. Here you can look at what current polls indicate for the 2008 Presidential Election, as well as taking a look back in time at all the previous elections. Play around with the interactive map by clicking on a state to see how the outcome of its vote effects the outcome of the Electoral College.
