A USA Presidential election is quickly approaching and do you know how to vote? I will show you how to make a decision based on an intelligent choice instead of an emotional choice. Vote smart and get your country back on track.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Be a registered voter

Step1
Understand the voting process, 1st you must be a registered voter to even cast your ballot. Visit your local county office for information about becoming a registered voter. It is your right and responsibility to vote and to vote smart. Get registered if you are not now.
Step2
Vote smart and not with your heart Review where your candidates stand on the issues, this is the most important step as this will effect how the country will be ran for the next 4 years. I will provide links in the resources for you to review these. Don't vote for someone because they are a woman or because they are black but rather because of where they stand on issues that you agree with such as health care or pulling our troops out of wars.
Step3
Cast your ballot on election day with the confidence that you are choosing the right person to guide your country for the next four years. It doesn't matter if you have registered democrat, republican or other. Choose the person that is right for the job, think of yourself as the boss hiring an employee.
Step4
This is the part that is tricky, the electoral college determines who their vote is for. How does the Electoral College Elects the President?
When you vote for a presidential candidate you are really voting to instruct the electors from your state to cast their votes for the same candidate. For example, if you vote for the Republican candidate, you are really voting for an elector who will be "pledged" to vote for the Republican candidate. The candidate who wins the popular vote in a state wins all the pledged votes of the state's electors.

Tips & Warnings

  • Thoroughly read about all your candidates before election day
  • If you don't vote then you have no reason to complain
