Electing a US President in Plain English

[Spidermew]

Please watch the video before you even reply to this topic.
Do not use this topic to talk about who your voting for. Im showing this video because I didnt understand how it worked untill I saw this. Im sure allot of other people are confused or have the wrong idea on how it works and why its important for you to vote.

Us Citizens, please vote this year!

So that's how it works.This isn't good McCain can win if he wins Ohio I really hope Obama Wins Ohio.I hope Obama wins the election

let's keep Johnny and Barry out of this topic and focus more on the actual process of voting.. 

the video grossly simplifies the whole thing to Sesame Street proportions. What about the electoral college? Hanging chads?

and ballots are going to look more like newspapers than sheets of notebook paper on election day. There's write-in candidates and tons of local legislature, too.
