The Forgotten History of the Electoral College—and Why It Matters Today by Historian Carolyn Dupont

Historian Carolyn Dupont will lecture on her new book: an engaging mix of history and political science, Distorting Democracy will awaken Americans to the perils of our system by unveiling the Electoral College’s origins, history, and current problems. This book demonstrates that the system has no principled foundation, that it has changed dramatically over its 230–year history, and that it now threatens the legitimacy of our political system.
