Description
An analysis of the American electoral college with its complicated set of procedures, this book analyzes the significant consequences of the winning of a presidential election by a candidate with fewer votes than his or her opponent. Effective remedies for the modification of the electoral college's deficiencies are presented by Abbott and Levine. They conclude that the only satisfactory solution to the inadequacies of the current electoral system is the complete elimination of the electoral college, and a change to direct popular election of the president.
