Understanding Presidential Elections

The Constitution, Caucuses, Primaries, Electoral College, and More, Updated for the 2016 Election!

By: Catherine McGrew Jaime

Narrated by: David Winograd

Updated for the 2016 election. Every four years citizens of the United States cast their vote in the election process of their Chief Executive - the President of the United States. But many students and adults alike do not understand the process by which we elect our president. Are we really casting a vote directly for one of them or for an elector, and what is the difference? And going backwards from November, how did those men and/or women end up on the November ballot in the first place? What is the process of a political party choosing their candidate, through this confusing array of caucuses and primaries that have been held? This little book walks through the constitutional background and basis for this critical office, and then goes through the nomination process of caucuses and primaries, ending with the Electoral College process that completes the cycle every four years.

the narrator ruins it.

It's a good, quick paced book. But that narrator. Oofff. Ever watch the show Futurama? The character Kip? Yeah they got him to narrate.

Tough subject made easy!

The author makes a sometimes confusung subject so clear. Her information was easy to follow and very helpful. I also appreciated that the author offered other resources for more information.

Enjoyed listening

Informative and to the point without being drawn out and losing your attention. My children and I enjoyed listening.

Election

Any additional comments?

Listening to the audiobook is entertaining as well as educational. I learned more about how elections in the United States are done.

I received a free copy in exchange of my review.

Very informative

I was looking to learn more about the electoral college, and this audible explains it all! I wish there were more like this, it goes straight to the point!
