Presidential Elections
Presidential election is an important event that happens once every four years. Currently, the president is always elected from one of the two main parties in the United States: the Republicans and the Democrats. There are other presidential candidates. However, it is unlikely that any of these "third party" candidates will win.【T1】______
In order to become the presidential nominee (候选人) of a party, the candidate must win the primary election. Primary elections are held throughout each state in the United States in the first half of any election year. Then, the delegates attend their party convention (政党代表大会) in order to nominate their chosen candidate. Usually, it’s clear who will be the nominee. However, in the past parties have been divided and choosing a nominee has been a difficult process.
Once the nominees have been selected, they campaign throughout the country. A number of debates are usually held in order to better understand the candidates’ points of view.【T2】______A party platform is best described as the general beliefs and policies that a party holds. Candidates cross the country by plane, bus, train or by car giving speeches.【T3】______In the 19th century candidates would stand on tree stumps to deliver their speeches. These stump speeches repeat the candidate’s basic views and wishes for the country. They are repeated many hundreds of times by each candidate.
Many people believe that campaigns in the United States have become too negative.【T4】______These short ads contain sound bites which often distort (扭曲) the truth.
The United States maintains an extremely old, and some say inefficient, voting system. This system is called the Electoral College (总统选举团). Each state is assigned electoral votes based on the number of senators (参议员) and representatives that state has in Congress.【T5】______The number of representatives is determined by the state’ s population, but is never less than one. The electoral votes are decided by the popular vote in each state. One candidate wins all of the electoral votes in a state. In other words, Oregon has 8 electoral votes. If 1 million people vote for the Republican candidate and one million and ten people vote for the Democratic candidate, all 8 electoral votes will go to the democratic candidate. In the end, many people feel that this system should be abandoned.
A. Each night you can see many attack ads on the television.
B. These speeches are often called" stump speeches".
C. These points of view often reflect their party’s platform.
D. It certainly hasn’t happened in the last one hundred years.
E. Each state has two Senators.
F. Parliamentary and presidential elections should then follow.
