What I have Learned about Elections this Year

This is what I have learned about elections this year. I have learned that for the Presidential election there is one candidate from the Republican Party and another from the Democratic Party. The President is his parties’ candidate, while the other party has elections months before the president is voted on in order to decide the other parties’ candidate. I have also learned about how each candidate needs a certain amount of delegates from each state in order to be that party’s candidate. I have even learned that my state, South Carolina, is such an important state in deciding the candidate, because we are one of the first states to vote on it.
