ABSTRACT

In Electoral College Reform: Challenges and Possibilities, we cover many contemporary political practices related to Electoral College reform. For example, several contributors explore ways in which partisanship hinders the development of broad consensus for change. Some of the authors address the current “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact” and some discuss how the electoral process affects presidential campaign strategies. In our collective effort to understand more about Electoral College reform, as this review of lessons from the book indicates, we share concerns related to American political thought.
