More Americans than ever before are expected to vote this year.
But there’s more than just the White House at stake.
So how do these elections work? What are the basics?
And what happens if one of the candidates refuses to accept the result??

Nice host
Well…… the focus now (among the well – informed) is on the content of the US Constitution which encompasses the whole gamut of ‘Citizens Rights’ and ‘Privileges’ besides outlining modalities to resort to in case an unprecedented situation arises in the conduct of the nation’s governance. It (the Constitution) would definitely guide resolution, however complex it might appear to…… lesser beings ! The founding fathers would have ‘definitely’ factored-in every conceivable possibility (the remote/most bizarre event included!) to guarantee resolution to a knotted issue. So holistic or robust is the nation’s (or any nation for that matter) Constitution that it commands respect, rather worship in its handling by those who seek counsel. My humble view of the US election 2020 : It will be unique – for this ‘Recipe’ has the most untried untested ingredients such as : The year (election year) woke up early with a pandemic on a scale last seen. in the Yr.1918 ! Add to it, the management (or mis-mngnt) resulting in colossal loss of life. The free-fall in economy and the snowballing effect thereof. International relations at its lowest ebb. The UN being accused of inefficiency, besides a host of other charges. WHO charged with China bias. The racial unrest that seemed to surpass the era of Martin Luther King. Police bias and excesses never seen before in the USA. As though this wasn’t enough, the most ugly and debased standard of the much awaited debate of the presidential-race contestants. Less said, the better. The ‘last straw on the camel’s back’ – the President’s Covid affliction. How frail can human life be……and the course of events? Adieu !
She is ugly
If the Senate pushes through with the confirmation of Barret, she should recuse herself if the election is brought before SCOTUS. Not only because they are rushing to fill the seat (RBG’s body was still warm when Moscow Mitch declared the seat would be filled), but with tRump and other Republicans acknowledging they want to fill the seat for the purpose of the election.
To become the president of the United States of America, you have to be so loyal to Zionist lobby، truthful!
Dont talk about de democracy when yourself in a autocratic rule.
When will Qatar become democratic and secular country.
Stop being Hypocrite Al Jazeera
So basically the electoral college is the establishments way of keeping the people they want in the positions they want.
Just another liberal hyped up “news” piece. The Democrat party has become EVIL.
TRUMP IS DEAD….🤔
CGP Grey did a better job explaining this.
As a wise man said “Israel is the winner of every US Election” and it is no Secret Biden is backed by the Zionist Billionaire, Bloomberg and Trump is backed by the Zionist Casino Billionaire Sheldon Adelson 2016 and today, they both serve the same master in the end of the day.
As George Carlin said when it comes to the u.s elections its the same sh t in and the same sh t out
Then why do Americans even vote ?
@RussiaNukesAmerica3 George Carlin said the American people think they have a say when it come to the running of the country they don’t its one big club and you ain’t in it
Yo, stop it with the conspiracy theories. They are not beholden to “Zionists” in particular, but capital. That means big business and rich people of all creed and color (but mostly white, just stating a fact) who lobby (read : bribe) them and their parties, at the expense of the bottom 80 percent of inhabitants. Its a byproduct of capitalism, not Zionism and Judaism.
Not very well.
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
Rigged like most things the elites are involved in
We’re not a democracy. We’re a constitutional republic.
Oligarchy.
areUaware No. We are a constitutional republic until we officially change. We will find out what we are after the next civil war. Good luck to you and your team.
@John Gault , The US government is a lie.
areUaware the United States of America is an idea that will be fully realized when patriots take it back from the social justice warrior scum that have plagued our country. Which will be soon.
@John Gault , Keep dreaming.
The USA is dying and there is nothing you can do about it.
Soon it will be a communist banana republic.
I think she’s wrong when she says both parties wanted people voting, Republican don’t want people to vote, they suppress voters that’s the only way GOP win by VOTERS SUPPRESSION AND ELECTION RIGGING
Let’s talk about why nobody put a ring on it. 😀
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Thank you, AJ. You never disappoint. Always factual, quick and to the point. Keep up the great work. American News media could learn a thing or two from you.
Trump is a liar cheat he won’t given up his seat easily. He’s lastest health condition is fake don’t let him foul u!!
Yup, Trump loves to play the victim because he is weak.
Did not agree, but in America we still have that right, each of us.
What happened to that Chinese looking guy who said that if he becomes president of USA, he will give 1000$ allowance (UBI) to all citizens every month ?
Think his name was Yang or something. He withdraw as Biden took the lead.
Joe Biden will be the next president of US.
That would be bad for everyone. Check out his platform. What he says and what he agreed to on the platform is different. Just saying.
The United States has a developed economy. The country has developed internal infrastructure.

Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
The US election will not even end well as everyone can see how their president is threatening the results that’ll come out on whoever is the winner in the election after the voting 🗳 ended.
Edit: Trump stand back and stand by as he said to Proud Boys..
I need boyfriend 💋💋💋💋💋💞💞💞💞
I’m single 😥😥😥😥😥
US elections are fake,
“Better a jerk than a communist!!”
Jerks are much easier to control
Biden is not a communist you idiot ,he is a centrist right .even senators like sanders are not communist, Sanders is centrist left .there is not even one communist senator in entire United states .learn the basics of politics you dumbass
The US government taught the rest of the governments of the world how to stage fake elections.
First of all mail-in voting is cheating , if you can stand in line at Home Depot you can go to the polls. Second of all the dipshit which is the writer from Playboy that started that quote said are you going to leave office Win Lose or Draw they didn’t add that little part at the end why would he leave if he won or there was a draw?
10:43 has the best 😍💋 💝💖❤️
No the Electoral College is not argued in every four years is only argue when the Democrats lose. There’s only been two elections that they have called Falls since Nixon. Him and Reagan. Reagan won 49 out of 50 states they couldn’t say nothing.
vote for what, nothing changes on the rez, people will always hate what they cant be…free, living in a white mans city is like prison, dont fall in the lava… grass & the road, must stay on the side walk stay in line, same stuff… people think being free is doing what they tell you by yourself, freedom is not having to do what others tell you their is no such thing as freedom, how much gold does anyone have? 0! just paper and plastic to buy their junk they push on you, thats your life make it buy it use it repeat you dont do it for yourself you do it to force you to do it you have to if you like it your weak real life you have to kill to eat hunt to respect get hurt to live fight to stand thats freedom not obeying to keep safe
I live in Washington state halfway between Soyattle and Portlandia. You know what I hardly ever see on a car or in someone’s yard is a Biden sign.
Side note the reason most Americans are blinded and the rest of the world don’t know what’s going on it’s because the media and the pedophiles in Hollywood have the Democrats back 100%. Matter of fact you can’t work in Hollywood if you even lean to the right a bit.
U.S. elections work by whichever candidate the ‘ Zionists ‘ select and place in the White House.

Small states vs large states are not the issue. It is metropolitan vs rural/suburban equity. In reference to the Electorial College.
10:43 has the best 😍💋 💝💖❤️

Both parthis are the same shith
Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
The only ones that argue to get rid of the Electoral College is the Communist Democrats- they want mail in voting and other voter fraud schemes (like having the dead vote for them because they don’t take them off the voter roles) to steal a ‘popular’ vote of people dead or alive. Hillary was not and is not popular with the majority of the American people. Her ‘popular’ vote was a fraud. Thank God in heaven that gave our forefathers the idea of the electoral college- why? So smaller states or larger states all have an equal vote voice in choosing the President. If we didn’t have it, large populations like New York and California- 2 states out of 50 would choose the President every 4 years. Leaving 48 states out of it completely- see how the Democrats would love to rig it?
Their both the same 💩 different 🚽
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
Thank you ma’am you always do great job, keep up excellent work,

Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
Hillary Clinton got the illegal votes.
13:43 I love that. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
As a started point yes it is very useful however more explanation needed to unpack the electoral system in US 🇺🇸 in terms of the different voting conditions between states, the class of voters, the electoral money, the influence of power centers and media on the electoral process, the electoral college, etc.
Next time how qatar election works?
Opps qatar has no election

The Electoral college actually decides who is the President. Senator Bob Dole won the popular vote which means the people voted for Bob Dole to be President but George Bush 2 won the Electoral college votes so he became the President so the election is just a waste of time because our votes do not matter and never did.
Fake news!! China wants to kill Trump because he loves his country. If Joe Xi Cheng Biden wins then China wins.
Can anyone tell me the names of books behind her
If anyone can tell then please tell
Right on the mark. It’s all about what Mitch has been doing while everyone is looking at Trump.
Those who control the law in a “democracy” ultimately controls all.
What is right or wrong, acceptable or not, who should pay or not, whose opinion is right.
Mitch and Co. already got what they wanted.
Love you 💋💋😘😘❤️💯
You look so beautiful in scarf, sandra. ❤❤❤
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖

It’s very simple do you want the explanation with or without the dice rolling?
Rhat’s very informative to know about USA’s election process.
Thanks as always .. Fantastic summary
I don’t care about us election I care about you.
Friends what is life and death
RBG was a NEOLIBERAL judge who was a pro-corporate hack even up to a few weeks before she died.
Pelosi is garbage.
Trump is garbage.
Biden is garbage.
Harris is garbage.
Pence is garbage.
This is an oligarchy not a democracy. It’s a deMOCKERY.
How do the US elections work?
Well frankly my dear the answer is very EASY!… IT DON’T!
