Linda Granfield - Author
This is a civics-focused introduction to American presidential elections, combining process, political vocabulary, voting-rights history and practical participation. It may help readers see elections as both a formal system and a public activity.
Get ready to make your mark! Once you turn eighteen, you'll be eligible to vote — but don't wait until then to get caught up in the excitement of elections! From the first primaries, through the party conventions, to the final count at the polls, the race for the presidency is a whirlwind of passionate speeches, sensational campaigns, and new beginnings that every American can be a part of! Hit the campaign trail with America Votes and read about: ¶ the long, hard battle to guarantee all Americans the right to vote ¶ how elephants, donkeys, dark horses, and lame ducks got into politics ¶ the president's job and why so many people want it ¶ how the electoral college is designed to work ¶ the language of campaigning: slogans, sound bites, and spin ¶ how you can help with elections even before you can vote!
