It is a comprehensive and insightful explanation of the dramatic electoral swing between 2008 and 2010. Tradition and political history can tell us what to expect in many of these contests; in others the presence and personality of the incumbent or of a challenger is likely to have as much impact upon the outcome as any uniform, mathematical, electoral swing.
Thus these "seats to watch" will determine the nature and complexion of the next assembly and welsh assembly government and it still seems likely that carwyn jones will be leading a coalition government after the election.
A senior officer of the ecp told dawn that under section 38 of the elections act, 2017, 'if the commission considers it necessary, on account of any gross error or irregularity in or in the preparation of an electoral roll for any electoral area or a part of an electoral area or other cogent reasons including changes in the limits of that electoral area or large scale displacement of population due to a natural calamity, it may, for reasons to be recorded, by order direct that the roll for such electoral area or part of electoral area shall stand cancelled and that afresh electoral roll for that electoral area or part of electoral area be prepared'.

Main article: saxons § saxony after the dissolution of the medieval duchy of saxony , the name saxony was first applied to a small territory midway along the river elbe , around the city of wittenberg , which had formerly belonged to the march of lusatia. Around 1157 it was held by albert the bear , the first margrave of brandenburg. When emperor frederick barbarossa deposed the saxon duke, henry the lion in 1180, the wittenberg lands belonged to albert's youngest son, count bernhard of anhalt , who assumed the saxon ducal title. Bernard's eldest son, albert i , ceded the territory known as anhalt to his younger brother, henry , retaining the ducal title and attached to this territory the lordship of lauenburg. His sons divided the territory into the duchies of saxe-wittenberg and saxe-lauenburg. Both lines claimed the saxon electoral dignity or privilege, which led to confusion during the 1314 election of the wittelsbach duke, louis of bavaria as king of the romans against his habsburg rival, duke frederick the fair of austria , as both candidates received one vote each from each of the two rival ascanian branches.

Right to vote in public and political elections
suffrage, political franchise, or simply franchise is the right to vote in public, political elections (although the term is sometimes used for any right to vote ).

This report summarizes the participation and characteristics of voters in the 2008 presidential election. The data for this report are derived from the november voting and registration supplement of the current population survey. The cps is a monthly survey of about 55,000 households conducted by the census bureau for the bureau of labor statistics and the census bureau. The november voting and registration supplement is one of the richest sources of information about the characteristics of voters available. It is conducted after election day and relies on survey respondent self-reports of voting and voter registration.
Trenton, new jersey (wpvi) -- new jersey democrats and republicans will choose their candidates for president, senate and house on tuesday, but because of the covid-19 outbreak, they'll be doing it mostly by mail-in ballots. And they may not know the results for several days. Voters have until 8 p. M. Tuesday to get their ballots postmarked, put in a county drop box or dropped off in person at the county board of elections. Tallying could take awhile, though, because the state set a deadline of july 14 for boards of elections to county timely mailed ballots.
Judge david sawyer wrote that the organizers of the ballot drive did not include a deadline in the initiative. "we follow the view that courts should typically defer to the legislature in making policy decisions," he said. Judge michael riordan agreed with the ruling, while judge elizabeth gleicher dissented. "this case should be easy," she said. "because voters have a right to vote by mail if they mail their ballots to the clerk during the 40 days before an election, they have right to have their votes counted when those votes arrive in the clerk's office. This interpretation squares with the historical and legal meaning of voting. It corresponds with the voters' intent. ".
One of the biggest challenges facing those who seek to understand u. S. Elections is establishing an accurate portrait of the american electorate and the choices made by different kinds of voters. Obtaining accurate data on how people voted is difficult for a number of reasons. Surveys conducted before an election can overstate – or understate – the likelihood of some voters to vote. Depending on when a survey is conducted, voters might change their preferences before election day. Surveys conducted after an election can be affected by errors stemming from respondents’ recall, either for whom they voted for or whether they voted at all. Even the special surveys conducted by major news organizations on election day – the “exit polls†– face challenges from refusals to participate and from the fact that a sizable minority of voters actually vote prior to election day and must be interviewed using conventional surveys beforehand.
How it would happen: let’s assume we’re underselling the size of the blue wave. Let’s assume the double-digit leads that democrats used to have on the generic ballot (until recently) prevail on election day, and americans vote democratic by 10 or more points nationwide. In that scenario, we’d be talking about the vast majority of those 30 toss-ups going to the democrats, along with potentially some upsets in districts republicans are expected to hold. The gains would be north of 40 or 45 seats and give democrats a substantial house majority — comparable to the gop’s current 42-seat majority.
(b) the county board shall also file in the office of the clerk of the county court a certificate setting forth in detail the result of the election. (c) (1) no earlier than forty-eight (48) hours after the election and no later than the fifteenth calendar day after the election, the county board shall deposit certified copies of the abstracts of the returns of the election for members of congress and for all executive, legislative, and judicial officers in the nearest post office on the most direct route to the seat of government and directed to the secretary of state.
Question: "what is conditional election?" answer: while the bible clearly teaches that god elects people to salvation, there are disagreements as to the basis of that election. Conditional election is the belief that god elects people for salvation based on his foreknowledge of who will put their faith in christ. Conditional election says that an all-knowing god looks to the future and decides to elect people based on a future decision they will make to come to faith in christ. It is considered “conditional†election because it is based on the condition of man doing something of his own free will. According to conditional election, those who god knows will come to faith in christ are elected by god, and those who god knows will not accept christ are not elected.
Question: "how are predestination and election connected with foreknowledge?" answer: certainly, since god knows everything, it would have been possible for god to base his predestination and election of individuals upon his foreknowledge of the future. In fact, that is the exact position that many christians believe, as it is the arminian view of predestination. The problem is that it really is not what the bible teaches about predestination, election, and foreknowledge. In order to understand why the view that “god made his choice based on merely knowing the future†is not what the bible teaches, let’s first consider a couple of verses that speak to the reason god elected or predestined people to salvation.

Conservatives replying to yingst's tweet interpreted the expanse of red as proof of their party's dominance throughout all levels of government. Liberals viewed the map as a distortion, masking the fact that most of that redness covers sparsely populated land, with relatively few voters. In reality, both sides are right, says ken field. A self-proclaimed "cartonerd," field is a product engineer at the mapping software company esri and author of a guidebook for mapmakers called cartography. The problem, he says, isn't with people's partisan interpretation of the map. The problem is believing that any single map can ever tell the whole story. "people see maps of any type, and particularly election maps, as the result, the outcome, but there are so many different types of maps available that can portray results in shades of the truth," field says. "it’s a question of the level of detail that people are interested in understanding. ".
