1 S E C T I O N 5 The Election What is the function of the electoral college today? What are the flaws in the electoral college? What are the advantages and disadvantages of proposed reforms in the electoral college? Section: Chapter 13, Section 5
2 The Electoral College Voters do not vote directly for the President. Instead, they vote for electors in the electoral college. All States, except two (Maine and Nebraska), select electors based on the winner of the popular vote in that State on a winner-takeall basis. Electors then meet in the State capitals on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December and cast their votes for President and Vice President. On January 6, the electoral votes cast are counted by the president of the Senate, and the President and Vice President are formally elected. If no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes (270), the election is thrown into the House of Representatives. Section: Chapter 13, Section 5
3 # Reps + # Senators = # Electoral votes
4 2008 Electoral College results Obama: 365 McCain: 173 [by 35%]
5 2008 Popular vote Obama: 69,456,897 McCain: 59,934,814 [by 7%]
6 2008 popular vote by 6.3%
7 2016 Popular vote
8 Electoral College in the 2017 Election Winner Take All!
9 One way to look at it: Ratio to Population
10 Another way to look at it: representation per person
11 The Candidate with the most votes should be president. The Electoral College forces Candidates to pay attention to all states.
12 Flaws in the Electoral College There are three major defects in the electoral college: (1) It is possible to win the popular vote in the presidential election, but lose the electoral college vote. This has happened four times in U.S. history (1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000). (2) Nothing in the Constitution, nor in any federal statute, requires the electors to vote for the candidate favored by the popular vote in their State. (3) If no candidate gains a majority in the electoral college, the election is thrown into the House, a situation that has happened twice (1800 and 1824). In this process, each State is given one vote, meaning that States with smaller populations wield the same power as those with larger populations. Section: Chapter 13, Section 5
13 Proposed Reforms In the district plan, electors would be chosen the same way members of Congress are selected: each congressional district would select one elector (just as they select representatives), and two electors would be selected based on the overall popular vote in a State (just as senators are selected). The proportional plan suggests that each candidate would receive the same share of a State s electoral vote as he or she received in the State s popular vote. A commonly heard reform suggests that the electoral college be done away with altogether in favor of direct popular election. At the polls, voters would vote directly for the President and Vice President instead of electors. The national bonus plan would automatically offer the winner of the popular vote 102 electoral votes in addition to the other electoral votes he or she might gain. Section: Chapter 13, Section 5
14 Electoral College Supporters There are two major strengths of the electoral college that its supporters espouse: It is a known process. Each of the proposed, but untried, reforms may very well have defects that could not be known until they appeared in practice. In most election years, the electoral college defines the winner of the presidential election quickly and certainly. Section: Chapter 13, Section 5
15 Perception that every vote doesn t count
16 States with small populations have more electoral power
17 One example
18 Question: Under federalism is the electoral college more representative than a popular vote for president would be?
