Van Stone: Trick Question- What I Should Know About The U.S. President
Elected Trump, Puerto Rico And The Electoral College? ¿Qué es este
racismo? Elizabeth Warren Wants To End The U.S. Electoral College? So,
Explain Why There Are U.S. White Supremacist Again?
Soooo, you’re thinking about doing the right thing when it comes to realistic voting for the U.S. President? Think again! What is this thing calling no resident of Puerto Rico can participate in the vote for the U.S. President? It’s called, Puerto Rico is a U.S. Gov. Territory. Because the Island, Puerto Rico that is, isn’t a U.S. state like say, Pennsylvania, who so ever you may be, and you don’t have a legal residence in one of the states of the U.S. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE DURING THE GENERAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Now that you have understood this clearly, every citizen of the U.S., including non-Puerto Rico residents, should be asking the real question- how long is the U.S. Gov. going to get away with outright blatant Racism, Discrimination, Prejudice and Injustice? ¿Qué es este racismo?
Okay, I was born in Puerto Rico. Next thing you know, I qualify to be an automatic U.S. Citizen without name-calling me immigrant or Slave. But I am still a Foreigner! Huh? What?
So, if I am Puerto Rico-U.S.-Citizen but I can’t choose who is or isn’t the U.S. President, what’s the point of those people being White Supremacist? The U.S. Constitution keeps out U.S. citizens, the U.S. Constitution sends back U.S. citizens, and the U.S. Constitution controls who will be the next U.S. President every time there’s a U.S. Presidential Election.
The Electoral College, a college that American citizens have absolutely no control over, chooses the U.S. President. Huh? ¿Qué es este racismo? Elizabeth Warren wants to end the U.S. Electoral College?
Any U.S. Electoral College Member cast a vote based on their own feelings regardless of how many U.S. citizens have voted during the U.S. Presidential Election or not. So, Elizabeth Warren Wants To End The U.S. Electoral College?
People born in Puerto Rico are citizens of the United States and can vote in presidential elections — as long as they live in one of the 50 states. If they live in Puerto Rico, they cannot vote for their president. Nor can residents of Puerto Rico who were born in a state vote in the presidential elections. Why not? It comes down to the Electoral College.
The Electoral College is a process culminating in an event that takes place in December each presidential election year, when 538 electors meet and present their votes. There is one elector for each senator a state has, and one for each congressional representative. Since Puerto Rico is a territory rather than a state and has no senators and no voting congressional representatives, Puerto Rico has no electors.
Washington, D.C., has three electors, but this required a constitutional amendment, since D.C. is also not a state. Without a constitutional amendment, Puerto Rico has no electors and therefore no vote in the Electoral College process.
Americans are often unaware of the Electoral College. When Al Gore won the popular vote but George Bush became president, many Americans were shocked. The fact is, we do not vote directly for our president. We vote for our state’s electors, and they vote for president.
Some states require electors to vote for the candidate chosen by the popular vote in the state they represent. Maine and Nebraska are the only states that allow a split vote under certain circumstances. However, the U.S. Constitution does not forbid electors to cast a vote based on their own feelings, and 157 have done so over the course of U.S. history.
So far, it has never happened that a “faithless elector” — those who choose not to vote for the candidate who won in their state — has changed the outcome of an election. It could, in theory, happen. If that were the case, all the celebration at watch parties on Election Day would end with a victory for the other side.
Hillary Clinton has said that she believes all U.S. citizens should be allowed to vote in presidential elections, no matter where they live. This could be accomplished by a constitutional amendment, as it was for D.C. Such an amendment could alter the Electoral College system, or allow electors for U.S. territories. Another alternative for Puerto Rico, the home of the vast majority of disenfranchised U.S. voters, is statehood.
