Here the breaking news about u.s.
US Election 2016 One in 25 Americans
Once again the people of Iowa along with those in New
Hampshire South Carolina and Nevada will
wield the considerable power they have to shape the contest to become the
leader of arguably the worlds most powerful country .
Over the next month these four states and only these four states will choose between each party candidates while everyone else in the country can only watch .
A poor showing in these early votes by flailing candidates
such as Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina may force them to drop out .
Together these four states make up just 1 in 25 Americans giving a tiny
fraction of the country population the power to eliminate certain candidates
and build momentum behind others .
the Iowa caucuses will kick off the 2016 US Presidential
election race .
After months of speculation debate and poll watching we will discover whether Donald Trump really has as much support as surveys suggest and whether Bernie Sanders can actually challenge Hillary Clinton as the Democrats candidate .
To become the nominee would be presidents need win delegates in contests across each US state .
While these first four states donot in themselves offer many delegates the candidate who does best in them is likely to fare well when many more states vote on Super Tuesday on March 1 .
Between a fifth and a quarter of delegates will be decided on Super Tuesday .

That makes the first four states critical. But who are the
1-in-25 Americans who live there?
They come from four states that have been carefully selected, as this map shows.
They come from four states that have been carefully selected, as this map shows.
This map reflects the ancestry of the largest group of
people in each US county. The data comes from the 2000 US Census, as equivalent
details were not collected in the 2010 Census. 
German ancestry, represented by the light blue tiles, dominates the Mid-West and Americans of Mexican ancestry are in light pink along the southern border.
The Deep South is split between African-Americans in purple and whites who identify as 'American' in yellow, while Irish and Italian communities are coloured in shades of blue in the North East.
The four early voting states are circled.
Each state has been selected so they will collectively represent these different groups.
Iowa
Iowa is a prototypical state of German ancestry in the Mid-West, the region which stretches from the Dakotas in the west to Ohio in the east.
Around 90-95 per cent of the state is white, with one-in-three of them descending from Germans. US counties with predominantly German ancestry are coloured light blue in the map above.
While Iowa looks small on the map, it is actually slightly bigger than England in geographical size, but has 1/20th of the population.
That makes it about average for the US in both size and population.
Sometimes described as 'America's Heartland', it is at the centre of the 'Corn Belt'.
