What is the Electoral College and is it Fair? with guest Jack Rakove

from Stanford Legal · host Stanford Law School

The Electoral College is a uniquely American system, with electors in each state choosing our president rather than the popular vote. After two recent presidents lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College (Bush and Trump), is it outdated and unfair? In this episode, Stanford historian Jack Rakove joins Pam and Joe to discuss the history and present-day relevance of the Electoral College. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
