Is the Electoral College anti-democratic? Some would say yes. After all, the presidential candidate with the most popular votes has nevertheless lost the election at least three times, including 2016. To some Americans, that’s a scandal.

In this lively and instructive primer, Tara Ross explains: Why the Founders established the Electoral College—and why they thought it vital to the ConstitutionWhy the Electoral College was meant to be more important than the popular voteHow the Electoral College prevents political crises after tight electionsWhy the Electoral College doesn’t favor one party over the otherWhy the states are the driving force behind presidential elections and how efforts to centralize the process have led to divisiveness and discontentWhy the Electoral College is inappropriately labeled a “relic of slavery” Every four years, the controversy is renewed: Should we keep the Electoral College? Tara Ross shows you why the answer should be a resounding Yes!
