Elections 101

Sure, we should remember all this from Civics class. Being the responsible citizens we are, we should know what the electoral college is and how it works. We should know the important dates between now and November 8. And who delegates are and how one gets to be one. But, mostly, we don't. Lucky for us, the BBC has put together a primer that addresses all those issues (story, video): http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35356941
   And the New York Times has an interactive chart of who's running for president (and who was but dropped out): http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/2016-presidential-candidates.html
