WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE ELECTION PROCESS
             How much do we as a people know about electing a candidate for an official
             office? I have wondered about this so I thought I would look and see just how much
             information is out there to be discovered. As I soon discovered, the information is out
             there, you just need to know how to get it and analyze it. The hard part is trying to
             make sense out of chaos. I did not know much about Article II Section 1 of the U.S.
             Constitution, and after reading it, I had to do some serious thinking about how we elect
             I often thought about our election system and thought it was really the best way
             to elect a President, now I am not so sure. We, the people, do not elect the President

             American People want for their President, because more than likely it will not be their
             choosen candidate. So far the information I have found has confused me, as I am sure

             mouth, on television, and on the radio. Can we believe what we hear about a
             candidate or should we make him or her prove themselves to us by deeds instead of
             words? When the candidates have a debate there are always the newsmen telling us
             what we heard was not what the candidate said, so who do you believe? Do we vote
             for the good-looking candidate or do we vote for the one who has our best interests at
             heart? Is the news media bias in their opinions about these candidates? Do they give
             a slanted view, according to their way of thinking?
