Extractions: This is an essay I wrote for an English class. The assignment was to research the "four" presidential candidates and their positions on some major issues. At the end we were supposed to pick which one we were likely to vote for. I wrote "none of the above" and that I was voting for "Ralph Nader". That ending however was lost somewhere. . . home says and not what government does). The liberals often side with the Democrats, where as the conservative's side with the Republicans. Thus, the modern political structure that is in effect in our country makes debate seem to be representing two contrasting views. Education is another topic of interest in the campaigns of the four presidential hopefuls. Bush is calling for a "moral education" system. What exactly that encompass', or how it would be carried out, he doesn't outline. He also doesn't mention, although it is obvious, who's morals he was wanting to teach. It's funny how much of the same people who claim "family values" are the same people who support big business', racism, homophobia, the Religious Right (which does

Extractions: Giving a razor-thin margin to Democratic candidate Al Gore, Johnson predicted in her Election 2000 course that the two candidates would be within a few electoral votes of one another. Though Gores opponent, George W. Bush, was the final victor, Rutherford instructor for the Lyon College course hopes that he can duplicate that kind of election analysis with his new course this year: Election 2002. As the Election 2000 course covered the presidential election, Election 2002 covers a larger variety of races such as the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, state governors, state ballot initiatives and important Arkansas races. Instead of traditional textbook and test coursework, Rutherford brings a different approach to the classroom.

Extractions: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2000 OPINION Practicing the democracy we preach By Marina Ottaway WASHINGTON The problems and uncertainties surrounding the outcome of the United States presidential election provide a reminder that the US would benefit from reviewing the lessons on democracy it has been teaching to other countries: Good techniques are very important, but democracy also depends on the political will to make it work. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the US has been engaged in a determined effort to promote democracy worldwide. It now spends more than $600 million a year on democracy assistance. One of the most successful aspects of democracy promotion has been electoral assistance. With US government funds, organizations such as the International Foundation for Electoral Systems have perfected techniques to help democratizing countries improve the fairness and credibility of their election processes. As a result, voter registration, the management of polling stations, and the securing and counting of ballots have improved dramatically in many countries. Technical solutions do not eliminate all problems. Governments and political parties determined to manipulate election outcomes will always find a way. But, while there is no easy technical fix for deep-seated political problems, good technical processes help convince voters that fairness is not impossible and that cheating will be detected.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Although elections are an annual theme in many social studies classrooms, presidential election years prompt increased interest among students in the electoral process and offer an opportunity to teach about a national election as it happens. This ERIC Digest describes legal and extralegal requirements and traditions of presidential elections, processes by which people seek and gain the office of president, and resources for teaching about presidential elections. REQUIREMENTS AND TRADITIONS OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. Americans elect their president through a combination of custom, state law, and constitutional requirement such as the electoral college as specified in Article II, Sections 2 and 4 and Amendment 12. Furthermore, Article II, Section 5 plus Amendments 20 and 23 of the United States Constitution pertain to election of the president. The following statements describe the presidential election system in the United States.

Extractions: In public, the Bush position was essentially this: "We’ve won. Gore lost. And while we’re willing to have one recount because the public believes in fairness, don’t expect us to go along with this forever." The Bush team was willing to wait for the absentee ballots, but they objected to a hand recount. That’s because those ballots frightened the Bush camp. On the confusing "punch card" ballots, some voters did not punch through the hole, leaving a little paper flap—known as a chad—hanging. A machine may not recognize this punch as a vote, but a human being might. Democrats argued that they could pick up one or two thousand votes this way. The first reports of the problem with the punchcard ballots came in to Gore headquarters at 6 a.m. on Election Day. "The ballots do not line up in the machine with the correct candidates," said Joan Joseph of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party. "People who think they are voting for Gore could be voting for Pat Buchanan, because the word Democrat is lined up with Buchanan."

Extractions: America Press Paul J. Weber is a professor of political science at the University of Louisville, Ky., and executive director of the Grawemeyer Awards. Catholic voters are now a looming presence on the fringe of both parties. Consider the following: (a) Catholics make up 24 percent of the electorate, some 62 million citizens, (b) Catholics actually vote at 4 percent higher rate than Protestants (the difference would be even more significant if Hispanic turnout were not so low), so the impact is greater than numbers alone and (c) the Catholic population is heavily concentrated in key states, i.e., those with high Electoral College votes, as the table below demonstrates: State Electoral Votes Percent Catholic California New York Texas Florida Pennsylvania Illinois Ohio Michigan New Jersey Massachusetts The voting record for Catholic women is even more remarkable, showing both a religious gap and a gender gap. In 1992, 44 percent of Catholic women voted for Clinton, while 39 percent of Protestant women voted the same way. In 1996, 59 percent of Catholic women supported Clinton, while only 47 percent of Protestant women did so. More important than numbers alone is the fact that the Catholic vote is up for grabs. As William Prendergast has pointed out in a splendid book
Extractions: Challenge the system. By COURTNEY POTTS Around 75 students gathered in Uris Auditorium for yesterday's Teach-In held by Democracy Matters. The event, entitled "Is our Democracy Accountable to the People?," dealt mainly with the issue of campaign finance reform. It featured short talks by four panelists followed by questions from the audience. The four panelists included Dr. Joan Mandle, executive director of Democracy Matters; Prof. Richard Baer, natural resources; Prof. Walter Mebane, government; and Prof. Theodore Lowi, the John L. Senior Professor of American Institutions. Each spoke for roughly seven minutes. Lowi began the discussion by asking exactly who "the people" were. He mentioned three forces of accountability: "mass power," "group power," and "power by numbers." These represent popular opinion, special interest groups and actual electorates. The problem of accountability arises from conflicts between these groups. "We want [the politicians] accountable, and we think they ought to be accountable to people who help get them elected, but that conflicts with their accountability to their district," Lowi said. His position was that the main problems were campaign contributions from sources outside of the represented area, districts that were too diverse to be easily represented as a group, and party politics.

Ross Libertarian Not much has changed here from previous elections except that the Democrats get increased majorities. Hertzberg went to 59% in 1996 to 68.8% in 1998 and now to 70.3%. The LA Times seems to be correct in this respect, that California is drifting to the Left. Hopefully they will be sufficiently emboldened to go ahead and turn the State into Cuba, then, when the economy tanks, people will think better of this. As it is, this seems to be a continuing trend from the 90's, that the electorate gets drawn back more and more strongly to the failed devices of socialism. I actually got a few more votes than in 1996, but the total as a percentage has declined. Return Our Excellent 2000 Candidates for President and Vice-President: HARRY BROWNE

For the first two half-hour sessions, representatives from the campaigns of Vice-President Al Gore and Governor George W. Bush will separately answer youth centered questions from the students over the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). The final half-hour session will be shared by the participating third-party candidates or their representatives.The Forums will begin with introductory remarks at 12:45 p.m. and end at approximately 2:30 p.m. The Forums are a part of Secretary Culver's "Iowa Student Political Awareness Club (ISPAC) Student/Parent Mock Election 2000" programming, which culminates on November 2, 2000, with over 30,000 students voting for their presidential choice by Internet, FAX or e-mail. Secretary Culver is partnering with a Seattle (Washington) based Internet voting company, VoteHere.net, to provide students at nearly 90 schools with the opportunity to vote by Internet. The cumulative results from Iowa will be forwarded to the National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME) organization to be included in its national tally of young voters. NSPME and the Iowa State Bar Association are co-sponsors of Iowa's programming.
