Sharing of power between national and state governments
Select a party and run in the state primaries and caucuses. Each state and each party has
its own rules. Voting can be open to all or open to only party members. Some states have
winner-take-all primaries, while others award delegates based on the proportion of the
vote. Both parties also have some delegates that vote at the conventions that are not
elected by the people. The GOP has only a few, whereas the democrats have around 20%,
called superdelegates. Both parties select their candidate using delegates from each
state at a national convention. Once the primary is over, each party's candidate runs
against the others in a national election. In the national election, Electoral College votes
are given to each state according to the number of members of congress that state has.
The candidate with the most popular votes in that state is awarded those electoral votes.
Whatever candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes is declared the winner. If no
candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes, then the House of Representatives
would choose a President from the top 3 candidates with each state getting one vote.3 of 13
