	Ben's Guide (6-8): The Election Process -- Election of the President & Vice President -- Primary Election
		The reason that November was chosen was that the United States was largely a rural and agrarian nation.
		Tuesday was chosen partly because it gave a full day's travel time between Sunday, which was widely observed by religious groups as a strict day of rest (except for traveling) and voting day.
		Two days were given for travel to give voters the time to travel by foot or by horse to the nearest polling place, usually the county's political center (seat).

	The Election of 2000 - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net
		The networks had vowed, as in the past, not to call an election until all of the polls in a certain state had all closed - one problem in Florida is that part of the panhandle is in the Central time zone, and when Florida was called, some polls were still open.
		She used the county's previous recount numbers instead, and certified the election: By a vote total of 2,912,790 to 2,912,253, or a difference of 537 votes, Bush was certified the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes.
		The suit stated that the lack of a postmark on mail coming from military post offices should not be used as a basis to exclude a ballot.

	Election Day - Cjay Content (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The population, median income, voter turnout, and ethnic makeup of cities and states has an impact on how those cities respond to candidates and what their residents choose to do on election day.
		Election Day also profiles cities and states based on how their residents have voted in past presidential primary and general elections.
		There is no database that has comparable questions asked of large samples drawn from every geographic unit in the U.S. To estimate public opinion in states and cities, Election Day uses a combination of judgment and regional breakdowns of 1988-1998 data collected by the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey.

	United States presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The election campaign was widely seen as a referendum on Bush's job performance to date, in particular his leadership in the prosecution of the 'War on Terror'.
		As a result, several states had a different number of electors in the U.S. Electoral College in 2004 than in 2000, since the number of electors allotted to each state is equal to the sum of the number of Senators and Representatives from that state.
		The 2004 election was the first to be affected by the campaign finance reforms mandated by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (also known as the McCain-Feingold Bill for its sponsors in the United States Senate).

		The outcome of this year's midterm elections could easily change the balance of power in Washington, because the party that controls Congress decides which laws will be passed during the next two years.
		On October 7, the United States Supreme Court refused the Republican call to overturn a New Jersey Supreme Court decision that allowed the Democrats to replace Torricelli with former New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg.

		With more and more states allowing some form of early voting, it is a phenomenon that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can afford to ignore and that has transformed the traditional push to the polls from a 24-hour sprint into a month-plus marathon.
		At stake in the Nov. 7 midterm elections is control of both houses of Congress: all 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs as well as 33 of the 100 Senate seats.
		Some of the leading states for early voting in 2004 were: Washington, where 69% of ballots were cast before Election Day; Nevada, 53%; New Mexico and Texas, 51%; Colorado, 48%; Tennessee, 47%; and Arizona, 41%, according to an AP compilation.

	Voter Turnout
		Statistics on voter turnout presented here show that the much-lamented decline in voter participation is an artifact of the way in which it is measured.
		The most typical way to calculate the turnout rate is to divide the number of votes by what is called the "voting-age population" which consists of everyone age 18 and older residing in the United States.
		I have not updated the presidential election results by state, so there may be small discrepancies between the turnout rate tables and the presidential vote.

		Corporate crime, corporate welfare, the problem of labor and the living wage, WTO and NAFTA — all these things that are reported on in the major press — the Gore, Bush campaigns ignored all these issues uniformly in their lookalike status, and still the press was obsessed with the horse-race question.
		So one of our goals after the election, is to, in a very kindly way, give some of the media an invitation to learn about what the criteria are for newsworthiness for a Third-Party candidacy.
