Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America

Beschreibung

Employing rigorous analysis and systematic data, this volume shows how the electoral college violates democratic principles and does not provide the benefits its advocates claim. With a new chapter addressing the 2020 election, this remains the definitive book on the unique American election system-and why that system should change.
