Road to the White House with David Yepsen

The Section 13 campus of KDU University College has long been the home of the American Degree Programme. On 16th May 2012,  a presentation by David Yepsen “Road to the White House: Candidates and Issues in 2012", started on time at 12:45pm and was both informative and interesting.

Mr. David Yepsen, (Director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University,USA) highlighted not only the issues of the upcoming American Presidential Election, but also a few interesting quirks of the American electoral system, in particular the role of the Electoral College. 

Contrary to popular belief, it is the Electoral College that actually chooses the president, not the voting public. Each state has a varying number of votes in the Electoral College based on the number of seats in the House of Representatives and senators for a given state. The smallest number of votes a state can have is 3 (such as South Dakota and Montana) to giants such as California (55 votes), Texas (38 votes), New York and Florida (29 votes each).
