How can we tolerate the Electoral College when every vote does not count the same, and the candidate who gets the most votes can lose? It deepens our national divide and distorts the core democratic principles of political equality and majority rule. To this day, millions of voters, and even members of Congress, misunderstand how it works. Lawmakers have tried to amend or abolish it more than 700 times. The framers of the Constitution battled over it. "Wegman combines in-depth historical analysis and insight into contemporary politics to present a cogent argument that the Electoral College violates America's 'core democratic principles' and should be done away with." - Publishers Weekly
