COLLEGE TO
HIT TRUMAN
Bv MILF DEAN HILL

WASHINGTON Southern DEM
ocratic leaders angry at President
Trunan's civil rights proposals
threaten to use their states cleo
tcral votes to defeat Mr.. Truman IN
the November election-it he is the
Democratic candidate.
To see what this means you iirst
have to know what the Electoral
College is and how it works
The Electoral College system is
a strange thing Under it the next
president could win even if he gets
fewer votes than his opponent.
The Constitution says the presi-
dent must be chosen by a group OF
qualified" men known as electors.
These men make up the Electoral
College.
The college meets after the cleo
ton. Its only job is to choose the
president. The votes OF the electors
make the election official
Each state has as many electors as
it has senator's and representatives
in Congress. There are SO senators
1.-TWO from each state) and ABS rep
resentatiyes in all.
Choosing Electors
A state can choose its electors any
way it wants to. In most states the
names of the electors appear on
the ballot. There are usually two
lists. The Republicans have one and
the Democrats have one. Generally
the electors are listed under the
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1948-05-03

name of the candidate they fill vote
for.
In other states, the electors names
aren't even printed on the ballots
But no matter how obscure these
electors may be, the United States
can't have president without them.
After the electors cast their off
cial" votes, the ballots are sealed and
sent to the president of the Senate
in Washington.
The votes are counted and record
ed at a joint session of the Senate
and House. Until that's done the
election isn't legal
In every state, the candidate who
wins the most popular votes wins
all the electoral vote from that state.
Because of his, a candidate could
be elected president even though he
won only IL states:
Pennsylvania, Illinois, California,
Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts,,
Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin.
These dozen states have 269 cleo
toral votes, majority in the Flee
toral College. Even if a candidate
wins the other SO states and has
majority of the popular votes, ne
loses the presidency.
Minority Presidents
Three times in U. S. history presi-
dents have gone into the White
House with fewer popular votes than
their opponents.
The first was in 1924. Andrew
jackson won more electoral votes
than John Quincy Adams. But he
lacked a majority since there was
a third candidate. In such cases the
law requires that the House choose
the winner by simple majority, with
each state casting one vote. Adams
was elected.
The House once elected a presi-
dent because the electoral vote was
tied. Thomas jefferson was chosen
over Aaron Burr.
In 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes lost
