“The inability of so many political leaders today to step

outside their ideological cocoons or offend their most partisan

supporters has become the real threat to America’s future.”

--- Robert Gates, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense

Why Do We Use the “Electoral College” When Voting for A U.S. President?There have been four times in U. S. history where the person running for president did not win the popular vote, but won the election: It happened in 1824 with John Quincy Adams being elected over Andrew Jackson, in 1876 when Rutherford B. Hayes came out on top over Samuel Tilden, then again in 1888 when Benjamin Harrison prevailed over Grover Cleveland, and lastly in 2000 when George W. Bush won out over Al Gore. All of this was due to the ELECTORAL COLLEGE!

So, many will ask, “Why do we have the electoral college because it doesn’t seem fair?”

The founding fathers included the electoral college in the 12th Amendment to change Article II as middle ground to decide if the people or congress should elect the president. While the electoral college system helps protect the interest of every American citizen, it also questions it, as it is possible for the majority of Americans to vote for the candidate who doesn’t win. It protects the country as whole by making sure a certain region can’t completely steam roll another region (ie. what if 90% of U.S. citizens lived along the east coast, the remaining land mass will still have reasonable representation).

Electoral votes are awarded to each state based on the popular vote AND population within each state (and the District of Columbia). There are 538 electoral votes, 1 for each senator (100), 1 for each member of congress (435), and 3 for Washington D.C. Texas has 38 electoral votes based on having 36 members in the U. S. House of Representatives and two U. S. senators. In 48 of the 50 states, it is a winner take all, meaning whatever the popular vote is, that candidate is awarded all electoral votes from that state. Only Nebraska and Maine do not follow the winner take all concept, instead they award their electoral votes based on the congressional districts within the state, and the 2 senate electoral votes go to the overall winner. This rarely makes a difference as Maine only has 2 congressional districts (4 electoral college votes) and Nebraska has 3 (5 electoral college votes).

Strangely enough, if for some reason no candidate receives a majority of the 538 electoral votes, the U. S. House of Representatives would elect the president and the U. S. Senate would elect the vice president!

Two interesting notes on the Electoral College: a) Due to the Electoral Colleges’ questionable popularity since it was instituted in the 1700s, there have been more than 700 proposals introduced in U. S. Congress to alter it, but none have ever passed, the last big push was in 1970 and b) the Electoral College does not allow U. S. residents in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U. S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa to vote in the U. S. presidential election!

Why VOTE?Repeatedly, we see that only a very small segment of the eligible voting population ever chooses to do so. We also hear elected leaders and those that do vote ---- demean those who do not. It has long been a vicious cycle and still nothing has changed. To answer this “Why VOTE”, let’s first look at some reasons why people do not exercise this privilege:

1. It’s not convenient.2. Dissatisfaction with all the candidates.3. In the everyday busy world we have, it’s too much trouble.4. Voter apathy (don’t care attitude, disconnected).5. The feeling that my vote doesn’t matter --- it’s meaningless in the final outcome on a particular race or races.6. Voter uninformed or uneducated on the candidates or what’s at stake.7. The culture or surroundings one grows up in.8. Complexity of all the paperwork and registering that is necessary.9. It’s confusing. Depending on the particular election, my voting location changes.10. Our culture has not promoted voting, like getting your driver’s license --- it’s a big deal!11. It’s not fun!

In conclusion, to answer the question, “Why VOTE” or what can we do to get more people to exercise this option, think about this: a) it is just about the only thing you can do that is “free” (over 50% of the world’s population does not have that choice or freedom), b) it can especially make a difference and a change at the local level where voters reside (i.e. ordinances, prevention of pet projects bullied by the few, etc.), one of these days bright minds will figure out how to administer online voting, and finally the best answer to “Why Vote”: re-read the previous 11 points in this article!

--- Jodey Arrington, R) U.S. Congressman from Texas, Lubbock

...speaking at the Texas Agricultural Cooperative Council Board of Directors meeting on Thursday morning September 9, 2016, at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock, TX implying that more and more food is being imported to the U.S. from other countries and that if the current U.S. farm infrastructure continues in decline, things could be very

similar in the U.S. food supply as it was to the U.S. dependency on foreign oil up until the early 2000s.

2017 STATe LegiSLATive SeSSion Ag iSSueS Taxes1. When open space land is sold for non-ag purposes (many times, to developers) taxing districts can collect on roll back taxes up to 5 years to where the previous ag land can now be taxed at full market value. Developers will be asking to lower this number to something less. The Texas Farm Bureau and most ag groups like the current law as is. In short, this forces land to stay in ag use.2. Tax appraisal districts are increasingly designating larger chunks of land on rural property as non-ag valuation. (ie. taking 10 acres, rather than the traditional 2 or 3 out of a parcel and placing it in non-ag value status --- a gravel or paved road through rural property, as an example, might now be considered as non-ag land versus in the past by some taxing districts).3. Although not likely an issue this session or next, there is a cautious attitude about preserving open space valuation.4. With declining oil revenues in recent years, the state will be challenged to find money for funding programs and as such look for little to no cuts or change in tax law. In fact, state agencies have all been asked to cut their proposed budgets.5. In recent times, lawmakers passed legislation to lower the tax rate on most all property owners, however there is increasing push back on rising tax values. There will be moves to reign – in this movement.6. Ag appoint a tax force to study, recommend and tighten the State Comptrollers’ Tax Appraiser’s Manual in an effort to develop consistency among county tax appraisers and to reign – in wide disparities in tax law interpretation.

Property Rights1. As of 10-20-16, the Texas Farm Bureau currently has no position on the high speed rail issue between Dallas and Houston, nor some of the eminent domain challenges regarding pipelines, however, they do want: a. in most cases, to have condemning entities pay all attorney fees when a landowner is challenged with condemnation on a parcel. b. define what a “bonafide offer” is with regards to eminent domain. Today, it is determined by a jury. c. that all condemning entities be bonded and the appeal bond needs to be large enough to cover all potential challenges.2. Although limited in influence due to the federal nature of the issue, monitor proposed drastic increase in endangered species listings in East Texas.

Water1. Seek “consistency” in groundwater district rules.2. There will be an effort to continue to seek separate water laws between fresh water and brackish water (salt water). If passed, an entire new set of water laws would need to be created.3. Regulations regarding redevelopment and reuse.4. Long term renewal of permits by groundwater districts.5. Aquifer storage and recovery.6. Funding.

Transportation1. To allow additional axles be added to overweight trucks, thereby spreading the weight more evenly over a road. This would likely come with … a. New fees b. Designated routes for such vehicles

Miscellaneous1. There may be some push to move the Texas Department of Agriculture toward a Governor – appointed Texas Ag Commissioner AND a series of commissioners.2. To allow Texas Tech to establish a veterinary school at their university.3. To alter ag lien laws in Texas.4. Secure some responsibility upon drivers during announced prescribed burns.

State Agencies1. Monitor those state agency changes that could impact agricultural operations.2. Monitor agencies impacting agriculture that will be under Sunset Review. a. Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (regulate non-point source pollution and ag land activities) b. Texas Department of Transportation (regulate trucking and transportation laws) c. Railroad Commission (regulate oil, gas, and railroad activity) d. Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners (regulate veterinarians)

NOVEMBER 8, 2016

GENERAL ELECTION

Prepared by the

Texas Agricultural Cooperative Council

(October 26, 2016)

PREFACE The following Eighth Edition document was NOT prepared to tell citizens how to vote, rather to allow them to make a more informed choice at the ballot box during the November 8 General Election. The agricultural groups contributing to this paper have spent considerable time in Austin and many hours studying the campaigns, the personalities, their beliefs, and their interest tendencies. Although not every statewide office or state senate position (31) is up for re-election, every state house seat (150)

and every U.S. House of Representatives seat from Texas (36) is. Many of the races were decided in the March 1,

2016 Primary Election. This paper is only reporting information on the “CONTESTED” races (a campaign where there is

a Democrat and a Republican in the race) remaining for the November 8 General Election.

A few points are in order as you read and study the document:

1) In a few races, you may note that agricultural groups are split on who they support.

That does happen on occasion, but we wanted to emphasize the thinking of all agricultural groups in an honest and forthright manner.

2) You will also note that agricultural groups seldom vote for all of one political party. They support candidates all over the ticket, but they generally do support the conservative voice on the ticket. Also as a general rule, percentage of contributions from agricultural groups to candidates of one political party versus another usually follow the composition of the state elected body (statewide officeholders, state senators and state house members).

3) Although many of the races do not concern you or your location around the state, you are encouraged to send this paper to your friends and family all across Texas---in both rural and urban areas. It may help them make a more informed vote.

4) As a general rule, voter turnout is usually light in elections, but historically rural areas tend to vote in higher percentage.

5) If you will be out of town on election day, be sure to vote early. Absentee voting begins by Monday, October 24. It ends on Friday, November 4.

6) Many PACs, like TACC–PAC, are organized as state political action committees and as such cannot contribute to national elections.

7) As a general rule, commodity and trade associations follow rule #1 of political contributing and that is to support the incumbent or the person already in office who has proven to be good for agriculture.

8) There are just so many dollars available for agricultural groups to contribute to campaigns, so although many wish they could provide more and in a greater variety of races, they have to be very selective in how they appropriate monies.

9) Not contributing to a race could mean a variety of things, including no traditional strong ag voting record in that district, etc. Agriculture, in general, does not have deep pockets to participate in every race.

There are approximately 65 recognized agricultural commodity and trade association groups in Texas,

but as you will see in this paper, only a small percentage have a formal political campaign mechanism (PAC) in their structure. Those groups contributing to this paper are:

(FCC) Farm Credit Council — representing the borrowers of the state’s agricultural credit associations.

(TACC) Texas Agricultural Cooperative Council — representing agricultural, electric, farm credit, and

telephone cooperatives.

(TAD) Texas Association of Dairymen — representing the dairy farmers in Texas.

(TCFA) Texas Cattle Feeders Association — representing cattle feeders and feedyards.

(TFB) Texas Farm Bureau — the state’s largest agriculture producer organization.

(TFA) Texas Forestry Association — representing timber producers and logging companies.

(TPF) Texas Poultry Federation — representing all segments of the poultry industry.

(TNLA) Texas Nursery and Landscape Association — representing landscape companies and

nurseries.

(TSCRA) Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association — the largest livestock producer

group in Texas.

(TWA) Texas Wildlife Association — representing pro-hunting, land stewardship, and private

property rights of land owners.
