Safeguard: An Electoral College Story
"How would you feel if a move you made resulted in unanticipated effects you never anticipated?" Safeguard: That is the question raised in An Electoral College Story regarding presidential elections. How does the system work in practice? And what if the rules were altered? Alexander Hamilton and James Madison were instrumental in establishing and defending the United States Constitution's Electoral College system. The procedure is democratic—but it takes place in phases and via the states. Candidates are compelled to reach across the country rather than concentrating their efforts on a single region or cluster of population centers by this arrangement. Furthermore, it prevents presidents from exercising control over elections—including their own reelection campaigns. Steve Forbes, a publisher and past presidential candidate, Princeton historian Allen Guelzo, and a panel of experts discuss why the Electoral College exists, what it does, and what might happen if it were abolished.
