However, this only applies to formal party registrations so it is possible to have three commissioners from the President's party and an independent who supports the President or even a member of the other party who supported the President, e.g. James Quello supported the election of Richard Nixon and was appointed as a Democrat.

    The Federal Communications Commission has one major regulatory weapon, revoking licenses, but short of that has little leverage over broadcast stations. It is reluctant to do this since it operates in a near vacuum of information on most of the tens of thousands of stations whose licences are renewed every three years. Broadcast licenses are supposed to be renewed if the station meets the "public interest, convenience, or necessity." The Federal Communications Commission rarely checks except for some outstanding reason; burden of proof would be on the complainant. Fewer than 1% of station renewals are not immediately granted, and only a small fraction of those are actually denied.

Unlike other liberal democracies with presidential systems, the United States does not use '''direct''' popular elections to select its chief political executive. Instead, the popular vote is mediated and distorted by an electoral college. The winner of the popular vote is all states except Maine determines how each state's electoral college vote is cast. Each state is apportioned electoral college votes equivalent to its number of U.S. Senators and Representatives.

    New page

    Through the course of American history, the allegiance of the African-American vote has swung between the two major parties, often dictated by events.

    It was naturally aligned with the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, in the post-Civil War era. That allegiance, however, began to shift during the early decades of the 20th century.

    Many African-Americans migrated to the northern industrial cities and northern Democrats, with their eyes on electoral gains, began to woo their vote. At the same time, Republicans, facing electoral losses after being branded the party of African-American voters, began to retreat on their promises and intentionally try to get the vote of racist white southerners.

    Two pivotal events followed: President Harry Truman, a Democrat, integrated the armed forces in 1948 and another Democratic president, Lyndon Johnson, aided by a number of liberal Republican lawmakers (and all non southern Democrat Lawmakers), enacted the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

    Meanwhile, many white southern Democrats, who did not embrace the politics of their northern brethren, began a steady migration to the Republican Party following the presidential election of 1964, further cementing the allegiance of African-American voters to the Democratic Party.

    Since the 1964 presidential election, the Democratic Party has won overwhelming majorities of the African-American vote, Fauntroy said.

    In 2008 the Democratic Party has a considerable edge when measuring party identification among African-American voters, according to a Pew study released in March, 2008. Of those surveyed, 72 percent identified themselves as Democratic. In contrast, 4 percent identified themselves as Republican.

    In 2004, African-American voters encompassed 11 percent of the electorate, according to a U.S. Census Bureau study published in March, 2006, and new voter registration statistics suggest those numbers may rise this year.[http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/04/obama.black.republicans/index.html]
