Threats to Fair Representation: Electoral College vs. Popular Vote | Save Our States | EP 231

"Sometimes, people desire simplicity, but freedom is not a straightforward matter," remarks Michael Maibach, a Distinguished Fellow specializing in American Federalism at Save Our States. Maibach recently joined AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber for an exceptionally informative episode discussing the significance of the electoral college in elections and the ongoing debate about its elimination. One of the major concerns associated with adopting a national popular vote to determine the presidency is the potential for a few heavily liberal cities to sway the entire election outcome. Have you ever considered the idea of disaggregating your electors? Maibach refutes this point and proposes that we "move past this argument," drawing upon his extensive knowledge of the electoral college's historical context. Tune in to discover why the current electoral college system is, in fact, a democratic method for selecting our president.
