For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves behind a legacy and a toss-up over her vacant seat. Her death has set off a heated political battle over who should pick her replacement — and when — all because the presidential election is so close. President Donald Trump hailed the late justice as a “titan of the law.” He also announced a list of 20 potential nominees, including three sitting senators. Some law experts are worried Ginsburg’s passing could dramatically alter the balance of the court, with conservatives having a possible 6 to 3 majority. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will vote on a replacement, even with the presidential election coming up. But Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Ginsburg’s replacement should not be nominated until after the presidential election in November. So what will likely happen next?

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.
