The Electoral College and the Popular Vote - Library Binding

by Lisa Idzikowski (Editor)

What is the Electoral College, and do the American people really need it? Should the popular vote determine the winner in any given presidential election? This anthology examines the origin and purpose of the Electoral College and offers balanced arguments for and against its use in the general election process. Readers will see how the Electoral College and popular vote can function harmoniously together, as well as examples supporting the viewpoint that the system has broken down and doesn't reflect the popular will.
