Hi all, I am getting ready to give a 10 minutes talk in English to a class of EFL students, and I am supposed to explain the election system to them. The history, the mechanism, the presidential elections etc. I am looking for a SIMPLE website to help me compile a few graphs and charts, - and you never know, I might even understand it myself in the end!!
Can you help me?

Re: the usa election system- explained simply- help!
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 6:09 PMHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Well, I'm not sure you could explain it to native speakers. I guess you could talk about what it is in *theory* rather than how it *really* works; that would save yourself a headache. These three links should give you a good start.
Encarta Encyclopedia on the electoral college
encarta.msn.com/encycloped...ollege.html
The Federal Election Commission on how the electoral college works
www.fec.gov/
The League of Women Voters statement on the electoral college
www.hks.harvard.edu/case/3pt...oral.html
Good luck!

Tue, April 15, 2008 - 11:07 AMthank you Diane, I had a good look at them, and they are very useful.
I'm just gonna have to reduce it myself somehow. But it IS astonishing that noone can point me to a simple resource.
ah well,.. -
