The Electoral College in the United States

Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the role that the Electoral College plays in the American politics and the presidential election. According to this paper, the Electoral College is a corner stone of the American political system, established at the construction of the U.S. Constitution.

From the Paper:

"The Electoral College is an institution in American politics whose only purposes seem to be to confuse the general public and complicate the matter of electing a new president every four years. And yet, the Electoral College has been a fundamental part of American politics since the construction of the U.S. Constitution. It is an inexorable part of the American political system. No matter how outdated, how complex, or how much a seeming impediment to the democratic process, it is important for the American public to understand that short of a Constitutional amendment, the Electoral College is here to stay. But how does the Electoral College actually work? Politicians and the media throw around the name of the institution excessively every time a presidential election rolls around."
