Review of Elections for Dummies

This story is about how the Presidential elections work and about the Electoral College. Though he explains it very succinctly, I am distracted by the guy in the background screaming (not very well either) the presidential anthem. This story I only give a 2 out of five because of that reason and that he didn't explain the Electoral College longer.

Review of Elections for Dummies

Want to learn (almost) everything you need to know about elections in a minute and half? Then this is the piece for you. It’s easy to listen to Justin and understand what he’s talking about. The piece sounds like a presentation from my American Democracy class – but much more interesting. The length of it is perfect. I didn’t have time to zone out, like I would have in class. And you couldn’t, even if you wanted to, because the background noise/music keeps you alert. “Elections for Dummies” is perfect for youth to hear right before elections.

Dummies Don't Vote

A short refresher course for those of us who slept through American Government and Political Science 101.

The hyperactive hollering of "Hail to the Chief" in the background gives this mindless "explainer" an irreverent twist. It made me prick up my ears!
