Player #3286873, Unless I'm misreading this, it is NOT true that we cast a separate ballot for VP. The nominee chooses a running mate and you vote for him or her.

Nutshell

kevadams1964, It's obvious to most players that the supplemental information provided here was written during the Obama era, when Joe Biden was the US Vice President, so no one has been "forgotten" or intentionally omitted. The current U.S. administration is also irrelevant to who its VPs were 240 years ago, so there's no reason to start the divisive partisan bickering (again) here other than to be querulous... it's getting rather old, don't you think?

Cherish, Wrong. We vote for the 2-person team, not one person.

Currently in the U.S. a presidential candidate announces his own vice president choice when he is running for office. We only vote for a president not the vice president.

IckyLoon47766, When the Constitution was written it was a separate ballot. Later an ammendment changed that.

IckyLoon47766, your reading it wrong. It's the electoral college that vote separately for POTUS and VP the citizens vote for a joint ballet.

Player #31796263, Electors cast separate ballots for VP, not voters. It’s going to be the same number that they cast for president. But there’s actually nothing that says a VP candidate must be tied to a presidential candidate.

Player #599457, George Clinton was VP under both Jefferson and Madison

IckyLoon47766, I believe you are correct. I voted yesterday Oct 31 2020 and only the presidential candidates names were on my ballot. Where does this information come from, so much of it is not factual.

Mike Pence hasn't been a Vice President?
