Will The Electoral College Destroy Our Democracy? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960104199)

We, as a country, elect our presidents and vice presidents every four years. Our first election was held in New York in April of 1789. History books explain that event to its fullest. This article explores the methods, the voting structure, the rules, and some of the unusual elections we have had in the last 100 years. Its theme is the Electoral College, the electoral vote, and the popular vote. The major question is why, out of 24 elections, have there been 18 of which the western half of the country's votes counted for nothing? . . .

The subject material about to be presented is complex and very confusing to grasp and understand. The material is not new, and I can only conclude that anyone that has studied American history in high school is vaguely familiar with the subject. It came into use in 1789 and has been used until today. It is the Electoral College, and it is embedded in the writing of the Constitution. The timeline for this dissertation will cover the years from 1787 to 2022. The reason this topic is important to study is because of the events that came out of the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
