Taming the Electoral College explores poorly understood aspects of
the electoral college, including two possibilities in particular
that could pose the most serious danger for American democracy.
These are, first, determination of the president by "faithless
electors" who ignore the popular vote in their states, and, second,
choice of the president in the House of Representatives, which is
required if no electoral college majority votes in favor of a
single candidate. In any given election, neither of these outcomes
is likely, but the 2000 election showed that we would do well to
take both of them seriously and take action now to prevent them
from occurring. Both possibilities could be dealt with by
constitutional amendment, but amendment is difficult to achieve,
particularly as it bears on the electoral college process. This
engaging book instead offers nonconstitutional solutions to the two
possibilities, as well as to a variety of other problems that lurk
in the shadows of the electoral college process. It also offers a
way to work toward popular election of the president without a
constitutional amendment.
