	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Electoral College Membership
		In most U.S. states, the presidential candidate who wins a majority of the popular votes in a state also earns all the votes of the stateâs electoral college members.
		Each state has the same number of electoral college members as the total of its senators and representatives.
		However, in this method of electing the president, candidates can win the most electoral college votes, and thus the presidency, even without winning the most popular votes.

		A truly democratic electoral process was a pillar of the constitution implemented after the 1979 Islamic revolution.
		Her growing popularity has stemmed in part from a backlash against an earlier political setback at the hands of the conservative clerics of the Guardian Council, who nullified her election in 1995 to the fifth Majlis from her hometown of Shiraz on ideological grounds.
		As public opinion increasingly shapes Iranian politics, the power of the people has become a serious rival to the institution of the supreme leader, and to the clerical establishment as a whole.

		The FARM BELT has lost some political clout since it was Gerald Ford's strongest region in 1976, but Bush can count on another 22 electoral votes from Indiana, Kansas, and Nebraska, and he may be able to squeeze 24 more votes out of the region.

		Mexico does not yet have a tradition of competitive electoral politics and the PRI has yet to yield the all-important presidency, so the novelty of electoral competition and of the prospect of a non-PRI president must be underscored by reference to the history of PRI hegemony.
		Political scientists felt comfortable in the 1960s and 1970s calling Mexico a hegemonic party system, distinguishing it from the single party states of the former Soviet bloc because opposition parties could and did exist legally and politically, but also recognizing thereby that opposition parties posed no genuine challenge to the PRI (Sartori 1976).
		Although the object of PRI-engineered electoral fraud in the north in 1985 and 1986, which led PAN leaders to organize massive demonstrations and hunger strikes in defense of the vote (Molinar Horcasitas 1991a), the PAN must be recognized as the party of legal and gradual reform that it has been since its founding (Mabry 1974).

		Based on the final RCP State Averages, President Bush is projected to win 296 Electoral Votes to 242 for Senator Kerry.
		In our initial electoral analysis we suggested that the election would boil down to Florida and Ohio, with Kerry having to win one of those two states and President Bush simply needing to carry them both to gain reelection.
		At the time we suggested that one of the President 's advantages was the possibility of offsetting a loss in Ohio or Florida by poaching some of the Gore states (IA, WI, MN NM, and OR), giving the President an alternate option of collecting an EC majority that Senator Kerry really never had.

	Beyond Voting: anarchist organizing, electoral politics and developing strategy for liberation

	Presidential Electoral Politics
		The goal of this course is, narrowly, to examine the inputs of the presidential selection process and use knowledge of these inputs to evaluate how voters make decisions.
		Often, leaders of the winning party interpret the results of a presidential election as the people's mandate for one set of policies or another, while the defeated downplay the election's significance.
		Because presidential elections express public opinion and because public opinion in turn is a key resource both for studying elections and waging election campaigns, in the first part of the course we will examine the relationships of public opinion and polling with presidential elections.
