Hour 2: The Indispensable Electoral College
Manage episode 442146241 series 2584197
Twice in as many decades, a president won the office without the popular vote. Both times, people cried foul on the Electoral College. Detractors claim the institution is antiquated and impedes democracy, but our guest, a lawyer and constitutional scholar, argues that the Electoral College is the best defense of America's constitutional republic. Join us to hear a winning argument for a necessary protection against "rigged" party elections, coastal elites, and DC insiders who wish to make a career of unchecked ambition.
