George C. Edwards III Quotes
...for two centuries supporters of the Electoral College have built their arguments on a series of faulty premises.

At the same time, it does not protect the interests of small states or racial minorities, nor does it serve as a bastion of federalism. Instead the Electoral College distorts the presidential campaign so that candidates ignore most small states - and many large ones - and pay little attention to minorities.
