US Election 2020: Will Arizona turn its back on the Republican Party? – BBC Newsnight

BBC Newsnight published this video item, entitled “US Election 2020: Will Arizona turn its back on the Republican Party? – BBC Newsnight” – below is their description.

The Republicans have won Arizona at almost every election since 1952 when Dwight D Eisenhower was elected – apart from Bill Clinton’s 1996 win. How will the state vote in the upcoming election? Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F Although it’s tempting to see the US presidential election as one big campaign, in reality it’s 50 smaller battles.  For challenger Joe Biden, victory will come if he manages to flip a tiny number of marginal states. One of his principal targets is Arizona, where the population is changing fast. The state that has voted for Republicans for generations – apart from the 1996 election – and returned the late senator John McCain to the Senate for three decades looks like it could be slipping out of the president’s hands.  According to the polls, Latino voters are making the difference.  Is the state that has voted Republican for generations slipping out of President Trump’s hands?

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.
