electoral college

Also known as the Electorate. A very complex way of electing the President of the United States that is mandated in the Constitution. Each state is given a number of electors or electoral votes by population—California 54 and Wyoming 3—equal to the number of electors it has in the Congress. On election day Americans actually vote for an elector to cast their vote rather than voting for the President himself, despite what the ballot says. Most states have a “winner take all” system that gives all of its electoral votes to the candidate with the most votes. However, some states have no law, and the electors may vote for the candidate they wish or their electoral votes will be awarded based on the popular vote. Six weeks after the general election and the popular vote, the chosen electors travel to their state capital to cast their vote for President; these are the actual votes cast for the President. The candidate with at least 270 electoral votes (one more vote than 50% of the total electoral votes) is the winner. The electoral college and not the popular vote, is what actually elects the President. This system was put in place by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution but resulted in two candidates—one being George W. Bush in 2000—being elected after losing the popular vote. The electoral college has come under fire a few times (usually by liberals who don’t like the Constitution), but works in general. The last time was in 2000 after George W. Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore. The system isn’t perfect but ideal in a Representative Republic like the United States. Changing it would require a Constitutional Amendment by the Congress and a majority of the fifty states.

The electoral college is the process by which we elect the President of the United States.

College of Notre Dame of Maryland

An all women's college in Baltimore, MD which is over 100 years old, where every one is awesome, and not everyone is a lesbian contrary to popular public belief in some areas. A rockin school in a small setting, with a cool belltower. Known as CONDOM, for short. Who else could have thought of that besides nuns?!?!

Person 1:"Hey, have you been to CONDOM lately?"
Person 2: " You mean, College of Notre Dame of Maryland, no, but that place is awesome!"

Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts

MCLA. Small (slightly shitty, but still enjoyable) liberal arts college in North Adams, MA. Good place to start out... that's it.

Enjoy: Townhouses, Blackinton St, The Mound, Fish Pond, 24/7 Dunkin Donuts, Fort Zen, Fire Pit, 3 AM pizza deliveries and townies.

Beware: RA's, the never-ending winter, herpes, and townies.

"I go to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts because I'm smart enough for Williams and Smith, but not poor enough for more financial aid."

King's College London

King's College London, is one of the oldest, and most respected university institutions in the UK. 'KCL' or 'King's' as is better known, was founded in 1829 by King George IV and Arthur Wellesley - Duke of Wellington, making it the fourth oldest university in England. It is consistently ranked within the top 25 universities in the world, and lays claim to 10 Nobel Prize laureates amongst its alumni and current and former faculty.

EXAMPLE #1

Person 1: 'I got into King's! So relieved I didn't end up at UCL!'

Duke of Wellington: 'I must congratulate you on that, your hard work has spared you the horror of an education from that godless institution on Gower Street!'

EXAMPLE #2

'I am applying to King's College London to study Medicine. But why are you applying to UCL? King's is FAR better! We even have a lion named Reggie, and those half wits from Gower Street have tried to steal him many a time!'
