Dear MEL Topic Readers,
US election 2020: A really simple guide
Though the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games are postponed to next year, there is another big event which is watched by the world. US presidential election, which is scheduled to take place on November 3, the first Tuesday of the eleventh month. You might remember this unique, rather complex election system that shook the world four years ago when Trump beat Clinton even though she received more popular votes. Since the republicans, also known as GOP (Grand Old Party), and democrats are the two dominating political parties in the US, either Trump or Biden will become the head of the world’s most influential country. What is unique about the US presidential election system is that it is NOT the total number of votes but the electors, the sum of which is 538, are the ones that decide the next president.
Besides choosing the next president, voters also cast ballots to choose all 435 representatives and one-third of the senators (33), at the same time. As you can see, one election not only chooses the leader of the nation but also decides which party, democrats or republicans, takes control of the two congresses. A very decisive election, isn’t it?
Enjoy reading the article to learn about how the US presidential election is held.
