A measure is the section of a musical staff that comes between two barlines. Each measure satisfies the specified time signature o f the staff. For example, a song written in 4/4 time will hold four quarter note beats per measure. A song written in 3/4 time will hold three quarter note beats in each measure.
Andrew Jackson won the presidency in 1828 by a landslide, receiving a record 647,292 popular votes (56 percent) to 507,730 (44 percent) for the incumbent John Quincy Adams. John C. Calhoun won the vice presidency with 171 electoral votes to 83 for Richard Rush and 7 for William Smith.
Let's start with the simple math. California has 55 electoral votes, and 270 electoral votes are required to win the presidency. That means, California has a little more than 20% of the total vote required to win, all by itself. Some point to its reliable liberal choices as a reason it isn't very influential. I argue the exact opposite.
