Which tool is most used by political parties and candidates when deciding which issues to focus on during an election?

voter polls


What is a blanket primary?

The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primary election in the USA. In a blanket primary voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines; for instance, a voter might select a Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party's nominee. It differs from the open primary - in open primaries voters may pick candidates regardless of their own party registration, but may only choose among candidates from a single party of the voter's choice.

used to replace an official who has died in office.


What type of ballot was used in Florida during the 2000 presidential election that led to hanging chads?

The ballots that produced the handing chads were paper tabulating machine cards, commonly called IBM cards or computer cards. The voter was supposed to punch out a perforated tab or chad to make his vote. The chad was supposed to be completely removed to create a clean hole in the card, but some people punched the card, but left the chad hanging. These hanging chads interfered with the machine used to read and tabulate the vote cards.


Theme of the 1964 Lyndon Johnson campaign?

"The stakes are too high for you to stay at home!" - when he knew the election was pretty much in the bag, he targeted voter apathy. His opponent, Barry Goldwater, was seen by many as being an extremist, and said a number of gaffes. Goldwater used the slogal "In your heart you know he's right." So Johnson parodied it with "In your guts you know he's nuts." or "In your heart you know he might." (as in "might drop a nuclear bomb") He also used his initials "LBJ all the way" or "LBJ for the USA"
