Electing a US President

Ever wonder how the electoral college works? Does an individual's vote for a specific Presidential candidate really count?

Find out the answers by watching this video from Common Craft.



Questions: What's something new that you learned from the video? Do you think the electoral system increases or decreases an individual voter's voice? How so? (For some reason, I can't get the blog to show comments for this post. If you want to add a comment, click on the title for this blog post, and then you'll be able to add comments.)

I didn't know that Nebraska and Maine give electoral votes to more than one candidate. I wonder how that works--how the electoral votes for those states get divided up. Does anyone know?
