| | Adding interest to the election is the fact that in the American system it is possible for one party to win the White House while another gains control of one or both houses of Congress. | | | For "U.S. Elections 2004," we have asked seven experts, mostly political scientists, to explain significant aspects of the upcoming elections to international audiences who may have different ways of electing their government. | | | Again, several vital features of the American system — party nominating conventions and primary elections — are not provided for in the Constitution, but have resulted from an historical evolution rooted in the early years of the American republic. |
