This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
addresses the peculiarities of the current presidential election
system not yet addressed in other publications. It argues that any
rules for electing a President that may have a chance to replace
the current ones should provide an equal representation of states
as equal members of the Union, and of the nation as a whole. This
book analyzes the National Popular Vote plan and shows that this
plan may violate the Supreme Court decisions on the equality of
votes cast in statewide popular elections held to choose state
electors. That is, the National Popular Vote plan may violate the
Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The book
proposes a new election system in which the will of the states and
the will of the nation as a whole are determined by direct popular
elections for President and Vice President in the 50 states and in
D.C. This system a) would elect President a candidate who is the
choice of both the nation as a whole and of the states as equal
members of the Union, b) would let the current system elect a
President only if the nation as a whole and the states as equal
members of the Union fail to agree on a common candidate, and c)
would encourage the candidates to campaign nationwide. The second
edition has been updated to include a proposal on how to make
established non-major party presidential candidates and independent
candidates welcome participants in national televised presidential
debates with the major-party candidates.
