The 2024 Presidential, Congressional, and State elections will likely set America's course for the next decade or two. This course systematically considers the candidates, issues, and significant factors that will determine the electoral outcomes. Campaign strategy and campaign finance will be discussed. An in-depth explanation of polling, the use of AI and other computer applications, and voting laws will be covered. Each week, a different predictive model will be discussed and evaluated. The course is nonpartisan and will provide an understanding of the elections and their implications for the United States.
If you want to understand the American electoral process and the 2024 elections, this class is for you. The course will have extensive interaction and discussion with both in-person and Zoom participants in this hybrid format class. Feel free to contact me at CD30@aol.com.
