Here is a realistic passage supporting the given sentence:

"A recent analysis of voter registration data from all 50 states reveals a surprising trend. Despite the country's strong Christian heritage, the Christian Democratic party has failed to gain significant traction among American voters. According to the latest figures, only 217,000 voters identify as Christian Democratic, a paltry number compared to the 47.5 million registered Democrats. Political analysts point to the party's limited grassroots organization and lack of charismatic leadership as major factors contributing to its struggles. In contrast, the Democratic party has a long history of strong community engagement and a robust national infrastructure, which has enabled it to maintain its dominant position in the electoral landscape."

 During the campaign , polls were reported by all pollsters and press outlets with a general guideline of having undecided voters split unevenly in favour of the " No " side : This ranged from 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the undecided vote .

 The clerk called the roll of the states again , and a band played " Yankee Doodle " and " Dixie " as the ballots were tallied . The results showed that the delegates had scattered their ballots to a variety of candidates , with no one close to the 492 necessary to nominate ( at that time , Democratic conventions required a two @-@ thirds majority for nomination ) . There was a clear delineation , however , as Hancock and Bayard , with 171 and 158 ½ respectively , were far ahead of the pack . The next closest , Payne , had less than half of Hancock 's number , with 81 . After one minor shift of ½ ballot , the totals were announced to the delegates . They voted to adjourn for the day , clearing the way for the off @-@ site negotiations that would influence the next day 's ballot .

 The counts of the disputed ballots were inconclusive , with each state producing two sets of returns , one signed by Democratic officials , the other by Republicans , each claiming victory for their man . There was debate about which person or house of Congress was authorized to decide between the competing slates of electors , with the Republican Senate and the Democratic House each claiming priority . By January 1877 , with the question still unresolved , Congress and President Grant agreed to submit the matter to a bipartisan Electoral Commission , which would be authorized to determine the fate of the disputed electoral votes . Bayard supported the idea , and visited Tilden in New York to convince him that it was the only alternative to stalemate and possible renewed civil war . The bill passed , with Bayard 's vote , and provided for a commission of five representatives , five senators , and five Supreme Court justices . To ensure partisan balance , there would be seven Democrats and seven Republicans ; the fifteenth member was to be a Supreme Court justice chosen by the other four on the commission ( themselves two Republicans and two Democrats ) . Justice David Davis , an independent respected by both parties , was expected to be their choice . Bayard was among the seven Democrats chosen .

 The large , mostly spontaneous gatherings at Truman 's whistle @-@ stop events were an important sign of a change in momentum in the campaign , but this shift went virtually unnoticed by the national press corps . It continued reporting Republican Thomas Dewey 's apparent impending victory as a certainty . One reason for the press ' inaccurate projection was that polls were conducted primarily by telephone , but many people , including much of Truman 's populist base , did not yet own a telephone . This skewed the data to indicate a stronger support base for Dewey than existed . An unintended and undetected projection error may have contributed to the perception of Truman 's bleak chances . The three major polling organizations stopped polling well before the November 2 election date — Roper in September , and Crossley and Gallup in October — thus failing to measure the period when Truman appears to have surged past Dewey .

 Under current state laws , a presidential candidate could lose the popular vote nationally but still win the presidency Public opinion surveys suggest that a majority of Americans support the idea of a popular vote for President . A 2007 poll found that 72 % favored replacing the Electoral College with a direct election , including 78 % of Democrats , 60 % of Republicans , and 73 % of independent voters . Polls dating back to 1944 have shown a consistent majority of the public supporting a direct vote . Reasons behind the compact include :

 Under the current system , campaign focus – in terms of spending , visits , and attention paid to regional or state issues – is largely limited to the few swing states whose electoral outcomes are competitive , with politically " solid " states mostly ignored by the campaigns . The maps to the right illustrate the amount spent on advertising and the number of visits to each state , relative to population , by the two major @-@ party candidates in the last stretch of the 2004 presidential campaign . Supporters of the compact contend that a national popular vote would encourage candidates to campaign with equal effort for votes in competitive and non @-@ competitive states alike . Critics of the compact argue that candidates would have less incentive to focus on states with smaller populations or fewer urban areas , and would thus be unmotivated to address rural issues .

 Democrats , who controlled the General Assembly , felt that county election commissioners had been unjust in selecting local election officials , and that this injustice had contributed to the election of Republican governor William O. Bradley in 1895 and Republican president William McKinley in 1896 . Goebel proposed a bill , known as the " Goebel Election Law " , which passed along sharp party lines and over Governor Bradley 's veto , created a three @-@ member state election commission , appointed by the General Assembly , to select county election commissioners . This system proved to be just as manipulable as the one it replaced , allowing the Democratically controlled General Assembly to appoint fellow Democrats to the election commission .
