| Summary |
On the U.S.'s voting process, few topics are as heated as the electoral college. It was established as a safeguard for democracy, but today many fear that it does just the opposite. Twice recently, the president who won the election did not win the popular vote, and many believe that the electoral college has outlasted its relevance. This collection of essays explores the impact, significance, and history of the electoral college, what the institution means, and its future. |
