Blue – states “won” by Obama in 2008 election Red – states “won” by McCain in 2008 election

American Presidential Election Basics
• All American citizens 18 years and over can vote in the presidential election (every 4 years) – usually only about 50% of eligible voters
Vote for president/vice-president team – multi-party system, but 2 major parties (Democratic and Republican)
Vote in state of residence (50 states in the USA) – the candidate with the most votes in the state will “win” the state.

• Each state represents a certain number of “Electoral Votes”, based on population
• If you “win” a state, you win that state’s “electoral votes”; if you win the most electoral votes, you win the election
2008:Obama – 365 electoral votes;McCain – 173 electoral votes
