This means that anyone can vote as long as they are a male. People of color could vote and you didn't have to be a landowner to vote. However this did still exclude women, and people of color still didn't have the same amount of power as white males did when it came to politics.]]> 2021-04-19 12:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/drewwsti/edkob2x6lfvwglng/wish/1432605998 drewwsti https://padlet.com/drewwsti/edkob2x6lfvwglng/wish/1432606309 Logan

The 19th amendment was a result of the suffrage moment, it prevents the states from denying women the right to vote, and it solidified the right to vote for women. In the beginning years of the country few states allowed them to vote, but that was was removed for many during the 1800's, and re added during the 1900's.

The number of electors for the President and Vice President within an election is equal to the amount of Senators and Representatives in Congress for that state. This consequently resulted in a tie in modern age, in which the vote would then be taken to the Senate, and then the House of Representatives. All the counting must be tough for the Electoral College.]]> 2021-04-19 12:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/drewwsti/edkob2x6lfvwglng/wish/1432608008 drewwsti https://padlet.com/drewwsti/edkob2x6lfvwglng/wish/1432608414 Joshua A.
