"The Electoral College & How other Republics Elect Heads of Government"

The American Constitution is the world’s oldest. How is it that our 237-year-old Constitution still governs our country in 2024? In a phrase: checks and balances. The Constitution created the Electoral College as a democratic process to elect the president and vice president. This hotly debated topic garners questions such as: Is the Electoral College outdated and unsuited to today’s elections — or does it ensure that candidates must reach out to smaller and/or more moderate states to gain support?

Attend and learn why the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College, its protections against a national popular vote as well as how our presidential system compares to other republics around the world. With the November election just months away, you won’t want to miss this timely and insightful look into how the Electoral College affects our democracy.

Keynote delivered by Michael Maibach, a Distinguished Fellow at Save Our States, giving talks across the country in defense of the Founders’ Federalism and the Electoral College design.
