ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Two Trump-backed candidates win U.S. election primaries, but two fall short | The World” – below is their description.
Primary elections are underway in the United States for both major parties to select their candidates for the upcoming midterms. For the Republicans, the November vote will be an opportunity to wrestle back control of the Senate, which currently has the Democrats with a wafer-thin majority. But there’s been a mixed result for candidates backed by former president Donald Trump. Professor Natasha Linstaedt from the University of Essex tells The World Mr Trump still has “a very strong hold on the Republican Party”.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
