Citizen's 2020 Presidential Election Weekly Planner and Appointment Book: With Key U.S. Presidential Election Dates

By: Publications, Rwn

The U.S. Presidential election year of 2020 is likely to be an unforgettable turning point in history. This full-size (8.5 x 11 in.) 78-page weekly planner will make it easier for you to follow the long and rather complicated procedure by which Americans select their chief executive--a process which has become subject to many changes and attempts at manipulation. Candidates--through a process of state primary elections, caucuses and conventions--vie for nomination by one of the major political parties, the winners being chosen at national party conventions held during the summer. The nominated candidates then square off to win the decision of the voters in the November general election. Through a weighted system, the winner in each state is apportioned a certain number of electors in the "Electoral College," which meets in December to carry out the actual selection of the next president and vice president. They vote separately for each office. If no candidate achieves a majority of electoral votes, the decision falls upon Congress in January: the House of Representatives chooses the president and the Senate chooses the vice president.
