Show Page - 66 I era THE HERALD, Provo, Utah. Sundav. November 4. 1984 a II Atffl W W' A W I ! n American inv m m m m ar mm m . c. . By ARNOLD SAWISLAK L'PI Senior Editor WASHINGTON iUPIi Americans are reminded every four years that they do not elect their president With the votes they cast on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, they instead elect a group of electors, who do elect the president. These 538 citizens, who cannot be numbers of Congress or federal employes, collectively are called the Electoral College. On the firjt Wednesday of December after the election, they perform the f'jrmal ritual of casting their state's electoral votes, almost block, for the presidential ticket that always as a winner-take-areceived the largest number of popular votes in November. '.Tie electoral vote certificates are sent to Washington where on Jan. 5 Jan. 7 in 1985 because the 6th is a Sunday the House and Senate meet in joint session to open and tally the votes. The ticket that gets a majority at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes wins. If no one gets an electoral vote majority, the House of Representatives has the duty of electing the president and the Senate elects the vice president. Each state has electoral votes equal to its congressional delegation. With three votes allocated to the District of Columbia, this provides one vote each for the 435 members of the House and 100 n emheri of the Senate. This formula grew out of the same constitutional compromise that balanced the interests of populous and small states by basing House voting strength on states' population but giving each state two senators regardless of size. ll Th Constitutional scholars say the Electoral College and svstem was the result of a debate between groups that disagreed whether the president should be directly elected by the people, by state legislatures or by Congress. The provision for Congress to break a deadlock was put in because many who went along with the Electoral College compromise believed it would cause such regional splits in electoral voting that a fail-saf- e provision was essential. In fact. Congress has had to elect a president and vice president only twice, in 1801 and 1825. There also was an electoral vote dispute in 1877, but Congress turned that over to a special commission for decision. The Electoral College system makes it possible for a candidate to win the presidency without getting the largest number of popular votes. That has happened three times, 1824, 1876 and 1888. In the first instance, the House chose John Quincy Adams president although he got fewer votes than Andrew Jackson, but neither had an electoral vote majority. In the two later cases, both Rutherford B. Hayes and Benjamin Harrison got fewer popular votes but ended up with electoral vote majorities by narrowly winning big states and losing heavily in smaller ones. v 1 V 5 ARIZ rru . ; ' 3 MISS. 1 r n Electoral 8 GA .- -4 Vote l .
