Graduating from the Electoral College

by Tomas McIntee

This book argues incisively that the Electoral College neither lives up to the hopes of the Founding Fathers nor to the promises made in the myths that protect it today. In thorough but concise analysis that includes every single presidential election from 1788 to 2020, Tomas McIntee shows that the Electoral College does not have a systematic bias in favor of small states, rural voters, or either of the two major political parties. Instead, it is chaotic; it favors large battleground stat... more
