본문내용
• How Americans Vote: The Ballot

Polling places provide privacy for voters and keep an individual's vote secret.

For the first century of the Republic, voting was conducted in the open. The secret ballot became widespread at the end of the nineteenth century in response to such corrupt practices.

Australian ballot lists the names of all candidates running for a given office and allows the voter to select any candidate for any office.
Australian ballots are all identical, making it hard to observe who votes for which party.

• Where : Electoral Districts

Single-member district - An electorate that is allowed to elect only one representative from each district; the normal method of representation in the United States.

But elections for the U.S. Senate and the presidency are the odd cases. In the U.S. Senate, the states are the districts. Senate districts, then, have multiple members and unequal populations. In presidential elections, every state is allocated votes in the electoral college equal to the number of U.S. senators (two) plus the number of House members.

→ The United States Senate and the electoral college remain the two great exceptions to the requirements of single-member districts with equal populations. The allocation of electoral college votes creates a population inequity in presidential elections, with larger states selecting fewer electors per capita than smaller states.

House and state legislative districts are not static. In order to comply with the dictum of equal population representation, they must be remade every decade.
Gerrymandering : Apportionment of voters in districts in such a way as to give unfair advantage to one political party. Ex) The Mississippi state legislature drew new House districts in 1965 in order to minimize the voting power of the black population.

• What It Takes to Win : Plurality Rule

Plurality rule : Type of electoral system in which, to win a seat in the parliament or other representative body, a candidate need only receive the most votes in the election, not necessarily a majority of votes cast.

Majority rule : Type of electoral system in which, to win a seat in the parliament or other representative body, a candidate must receive a majority of all the votes cast in the relevant district. (50 percent plus one)
