2020 Democratic Nomination Campaign Ads

Below I have linked the 2020 democratic nomination campaign ads. These ads were played before Feb 3rd, 2020 when the Democratic Iowa caucus took place. There were attack ads at Donald Trump as well as ads that supported candidate issue positions such as climate change. The link will take you to C-SPAN which allows you to parse through the transcript of the video and find relevant information on democrat strategies.

CHIAFALO V. WASHINGTON

This Supreme Court case ruled that “unfaithful presidential electors” can be punished or replaced if they refuse to cast their ballot for the majority favored candidate of the state. The elector pledges to vote for the candidate that wins the state’s popular vote, but some choose to be discursive and vote independently. This document goes over the Supreme Court’s ruling and its broader implications for the electoral college.

THE RULES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY (2016/2020)

Below I have attached the 2016 and 2020 Republican Party rules.  These documents refer to the 42 rules that are enforced by the GOP. These rules are concerned with the party’s organization, method of election, term of office, vacancies, voting, and debate; to name a few. This would be a great resource to juxtapose with the Democrats rules and regulations.
