| Abstract: | "Nearly 800 proposals have been made to amend or abolish the Electoral College, and its divisiveness raises many questions. Does the body ensure representation across the country? Does the institution benefit some states at the expense of others? How does the process relate to an incoming president's legitimacy? Are presidential electors free to use their own judgement? Should the Electoral College exist at all? Much confusion surrounds this institution, in large part because of how the original Electoral College differs from its contemporary counterpart, the evolved Electoral College. This book helps readers to understand the distinction and how got where we are today. Focusing on the controversial 2016 election, in which Trump received nearly three million fewer popular votes than Clinton, Representation and the Electoral College shows how the Electoral College works to determine election outcomes. In exploring the origin, development, and practice of the Electoral College, this study also presents the most extensive analysis of presidential electors to date."--Back cover |

| adam_text | “Every decade or so there is an important new book on the Electoral College. In the wake of the 2016 “misfire” election, Alexander’s is that book. This would be an excellent addition to any undergraduate course covering elections, American political development, or the presidency.” —Jeffrey S. Peake, Professor of Political Science, Clemson University “Robert Alexander, master of all things related to the Electoral College, approaches this paradoxical institution with clarity and balance. This outstanding work is an excellent primer for those who wish to unpack the core elements of the Electoral College and come to grips with this anti-democratic aspect of America’s struggling democracy.” —Michael A. Genovese, President, Global Policy Institute at Loyola Marymount University “This well-written and accessible work, sure to be a hit with students, offers revealing interviews with electors who struggled over whether to support the unpopular presidential candidates endorsed by their home states—an issue that will certainly arise again.” —Stephen i. Farnsworth, Professor of Politica! Science, University of Mary Washington “Both proponents and opponents of the Electoral College will find that Alexander offers a balanced view. This is an essential volume for students and scholars of the American presidency and an insightful read for the interested citizen.” —Terri Towner, Associate Professor of Political Science, Oakland University EARLY 800 PROPOSALS have been made to amend or abolish the Electoral College, and its divisiveness raises many questions. Does the body ensure
representation across the country? Does the institution benefit some states at the expense of others? How does the process relate to an incoming president’s legitimacy? Are presidential electors free to use their own judgment? Should the Electoral College exist at all? Much confusion surrounds this institution, in large part because of how the original Electoral College differs from its contemporary counterpart, the evolved Electoral College. This book helps readers to understand the distinction and how we got where we are today. Focusing on the controversial 2016 election, in which Trump received nearly three million fewer popular votes than Clinton, Representation and the Electoral College shows how the Electoral College works to determine election outcomes. In exploring the origin, development, and practice of the Electoral College, this study also presents the most extensive analysis of presidential electors to date. N ROBERT M. ALEXANDER is Professor of Political Science at Ohio Northern University.
