ALEX KEYSSAR-Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College?
The US hold only one national popular vote \u2013 for President and Vice President \u2013 and The Republican party has won that national vote only once since 1988, that\u2019s 32 years. Yet they've held the presidency 12 of those years. Under the two most recent popular vote losers / electoral college winners, we\u2019ve suffered 9/11, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2008 recession, the monstrously failed response to the pandemic, and a devastated economy. I believe that minority rule sickens democracy. The electoral college is anti-democratic. I talk with ALEX KEYSAR about his new book, WHY DO WE STILL HAVE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?
