In this ATPD webinar, AIIC USA Chair Tony Rosado will analyze the electoral college, and its criticism and will show how votes are cast and counted, and explain who decides how many electoral votes go to each state and the reasoning behind it.

Participants will come away with an understanding of some of the terms used by American media and politicians when referring to the presidential election and an insight on the American electoral system and culture that will be helpful in many fields and for years to come.

This workshop is helpful for conference interpreters, diplomatic interpreters, media interpreters, international organization interpreters, and students of interpreting working in international affairs, politics, finance, law, and economics who deal with global affairs and United States issues, especially those covering the U.S. presidential debates, political conventions, and the presidential election.
