How do the election primaries work?

Primaries are organized state by state, and specific to each party. Only the first state, Iowa, has its caucus on January 3rd. A caucus is different from a primary vote: it is not a secret ballot, for one thing.

Also, it requires people to come out and participate physically: there are no absentee votes Each state is not actually voting for the presidential nominee directly, but for delegates to the party's convention. The delegates pledge to vote for a particular candidate, but the rules are different from state to state. Some award all the delegates to a single candidate, and some award them proportionately to the candidates according to the percentage of votes.

Some say the pledge only applies to the first ballot at the convention; some make other conditions under which they can vote for one of the other candidates It's really the convention that determines the party's nominee, but generally we know who has the most delegates long before the convention begins. The convention is still important, of course, because much other work is accomplished there. And of course it brings a lot of press and attention to the party, provides a lot of money for the hotels and restaurants of the city in which it is held, and provides a huge opportunity for party members to meet privately and discuss strategy.

Each political party sets its own rules. Generally, however, when voters vote, they are electing representatives to the national party convention (I think this is in June or July this year for the Republican Party). Under GOP rules, I believe that whoever gets the most votes in Iowa gets 100% of the Iowa representatives.

This happens in each state. When they get to the party convention, whoever has the most representatives wins.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
