Are you as confused as me about how someone wins the U.S. presidential election?
With all the misinformation available on the internet and social media sites, what information is considered trustworthy?
I am hoping the information provided by the U.S. government itself, should prove to be, https://www.usa.gov/election. If you’re anything at all like me, a visual diagram would be most helpful. Thankfully, this website provided an infographic diagram of the whole process.
I believe the most confusing part of the entire process concerns the electoral college. So why vote – many seem to ask.
It does indeed count after you cast your ballot for president, but your vote goes to a statewide tally. In Washington, D.C.and 48 states, the winner gets all the electoral votes for that state, however, Maine and Nebraska assign their electors using a proportional system.
While the Electoral College consists of 538 electors, a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. In the posted infographic above, you’ll see the allocated number of electoral votes post for each state currently. That number was determined based on the Census. Each State is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts.
Every State, except for Maine and Nebraska, have a winner-take-all policy where the State looks only at the overall winner of the state-wide popular vote. However, Maine and Nebraska appoint individual electors based on the winner of the popular vote for each Congressional district and then 2 electors based on the winner of the overall state-wide popular vote.
Well I don’t know about you, even with the facts presented, my head is spinning! Regardless, be sure to get out there and vote, because your vote does count – at least indirectly!

Is your child in a school where there are no school pictures or you’re not happy with their school pictures?
Then please let your school administrator know how much you’d like for All About You Portraits to come take the school photos!
I am offering professional portraits at your school’s location at very affordable rates. We just finished our first school portrait session in Rosanky. We learned a lot and are ready to put our skills and knowledge to work at your school!
What We Learned
It is very helpful to use an iPad to preview the photos much larger than they show up in the camera’s viewfinder or its LCD screen. This is especially important when taking pictures of an entire class.
Using the iPad, allow the teachers to select the class photo that they liked best – in real time!
The devil is in the details. Careful inspection of each child is completed on the iPad to ensure their clothing, pose, and facial expression is ideal.
An assistant to the photographer is highly beneficial in double-checking these details, and for saving time in setup, shutdown, and everything in between.
Hang the largest backgrounds sideways, to get the very widest portion of it behind the larger classes.
