Electoral College

Read a random definition: National Labor Relations Act

A quick definition of Electoral College:

The Electoral College is a process used in the United States to elect the President and Vice President. Instead of citizens directly voting for the candidates, they vote for "electors" who then vote for the President and Vice President. Each state has a number of electors based on their number of Representatives and Senators. The candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes (270) wins the election. This system is meant to ensure that the President represents the interests of the entire country, not just specific regions.

A more thorough explanation:

The Electoral College is a process used in the United States to indirectly elect the President and Vice President every four years. Instead of citizens directly voting for the candidates, they vote for "electors" who then cast their votes for the candidates. The number of electors each state has is based on the number of Representatives and Senators from that state, with a total of 538 electors in the country.

In order to win the election, a presidential candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes, which is 270 electoral votes. If there is a tie, then the members of the House of Representatives vote to elect the President and Vice President.

Before the election, each political party selects and nominates a single presidential and vice presidential candidate to represent them in the general election. When citizens vote for a candidate, they are actually voting for that candidate's slate of electors. The slate of electors that correspond with the political party receiving the majority of the votes within a particular state become that state's electors.

The Electoral College system seeks to maintain cohesiveness by ensuring a distribution of popular support across the country, incentivizing presidential candidates to pull together coalitions of states and regions, rather than to exacerbate regional differences.

For example, if a candidate were to win the popular vote in only a few heavily populated states, they could potentially win the election without having the support of the majority of the country. The Electoral College system helps to prevent this by requiring candidates to have support from a variety of states and regions in order to win.

She seems depressed. Started watching my story on instagram more. Here videos aren't getting a lot of views on YouTube. I offered her a job doing architecture for celebrity houses back in June but she turned it down. Probably regrets it now. Haven't spoken to her since she got arrested.

I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.
hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
1:13
everyone literally needs to chill
1:13
just bc you missed 2 waves doesnt mean ur cooked. some people dont find out for 10 weeks
1:14
