β¦ Synopsis
Is the Electoral College βracistβ and a βscamβ as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims? Or was Alexander Hamilton right when he declared that βif it be not perfect, it is at least excellentβ? In this Broadside, Trent England explains why we have the Electoral College, how it shapes American politics, and why preserving it is necessary to maintain our republican form of government. With an organized campaign trying to hijack the constitutionβs state-by-state system in favor of a direct election, now is the time for Americans to come to the defense of the Electoral College.
