FilVOTE: Electing a US President
I was reading the blog entry of my sister, Noemi Dado, about Barack Obama being elected as the 44th President of the United States. She had included a quick and easy primer for her Filipino readers about the electoral process, titled: “Electing a US President in Plain English.” During her visit last month, Philippines-based Noemi had grappled with understanding US elections since she was only familiar with the mechanics of the “popular vote.”
I have included this video tutorial from YouTube that Noemi used. Although we won’t be electing a US President soon, we can use this video to help educate future voters.
Enjoy!
