Either from previous elections, or perhaps your own understanding of the electoral college, you probably know that voting for the President of the United States is not a straightforward process. In this course, we'll discuss the basics of how the electoral college works and what the “popular vote” means. We'll also go over the role of individual electors for their states. Then, we'll switch gears and discuss how you, as a voter, can decide who the best candidate is for you. We'll talk about finding trusted news sources, getting educated on the candidates, and determining which party/policies align most with your personal beliefs.
