Week 10: Presidential Elections

In this week's class, we will be looking at the constitutional basis for the Electoral College and how the system works during a Presidential election. We'll review the key dates in November, December & January for the Electoral College and define some terms or issues that are sure to be heard on Election Day. We'll examine the most recent electoral vote projections for the Presidential race as well as projections on what the new U.S. Congress may look like. Closer to home, we will look at our state wide races and ballot issues and look at Harrison & Jefferson County races & ballot issues.
