How many people under 30 voted in the 2008 Presidential election?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well voter turnout was about 61.0% of those assumed eligible to vote.

Assumed 215,000,000 so about 84,000,000 people who most likely could vote, did not.

As a side note. A 2/3 majority requires 67% of those eligible to vote to participate.

So if in order to have a president at all, the requirement was changed too 2/3 participation necessary, then the last time any one would have been elected to office would have been around the late 1800's.

What was the result of the election of 1800?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Thomas Jefferson won the 1800 presidential election defeating John Quincy Adams, Aaron Burr, Charles Pinckney, and John Jay. In 1800 electors voted for two individuals and did not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1803. The recipient of the most electoral votes in 1800 would become president and the runner-up vice-president. Thomas Jefferson received 73 electoral votes, his running-mate Aaron Burr received 73 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 65 electoral votes, Charles Pinckney received 64 electoral votes, and John Jay received 1 electoral vote. Running-mates Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of electoral votes. The election was decided in the House of Representatives, with 10 State delegations voting for Jefferson, 4 voting for Burr and 2 making no choice. Thomas Jefferson became President and his running-mate Aaron Burr became Vice President.

What are the economic issues in the US?

User Avatar

Asked by Loulou16

It would be a mistake to think that there is just one thing wrong with the economy of the USA. There are a number of serious problems. One very big problem is that the financial sector (banks, insurance companies, stock brokerages, investment managers) has made grave errors in recent years, in terms of what are known as sub-prime mortgages (which means, financing home purchases by people who can't actually afford to buy homes) because they sought short-term profit at the expense of long-term viability. This was allowed to happen essentially because in a free market economy, we just let people do as they wish and either reap the rewards or suffer the consequences. But in this case, the consequences affect everybody. The US economy has also suffered in recent decades because of increasingly effective competition from other countries, many of whom can offer cheaper labor than the US, and/or lower taxes.

What is done with the Electoral College votes for each state?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The entire Electoral College does not meet together in one place. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice-president. Each state then forwards the election results to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the state's Secretary of State, and the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met. A joint session of Congress takes place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared. The sitting vice-president is expected to preside at the joint session. In several cases the President pro tempore of the Senate has chaired the proceedings.
