1.Who Elects the President?
  November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are【1】representatives in local and national races. Some people think that they"re voting for the president of our country too. They"re not! Again, they"re voting for【2】. These representatives are called electors. They are part of a system called the Electoral College.
  The electors will meet in their【3】states and cast their votes for president and vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution does not【4】the electors to vote for the candidates that they are pledged to, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks【5】the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in Congress.
  If no one gets a【6】of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the【7】will be chosen by Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate will choose the vice-president. It"s not likely, but we could actually end up【8】a president from one party and a vice- president from another.
  In an extremely【9】election, all kinds of strange outcomes are possible. Will the candidate that most voters【10】be the next president? And when will we even know?
