Distorting Democracy: The Forgotten History of the Electoral College--And Why It Matters Today - Carolyn Renée Dupont

Distorting Democracy will awaken Americans to the perils of our system by unveiling the Electoral College's origins, history, and present operations. This book demonstrates that the system has no principled foundation, that it has changed dramatically over its 230-year history, and that it threatens the legitimacy of our political system in the present.
