About this listen
Welcome back to Lockdown Law! In this 1st episode of Season 2, we dive right in to the Electoral College. The Electoral College process is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of the American presidential election system. This episode delves into the complexities of the Electoral College, explaining how it operates and why it was established as a compromise between direct popular votes and congressional selection. The discussion highlights the historical context of the founding fathers' intentions and the implications of the system, including scenarios where a candidate can win the popular vote but lose the election, as seen in the 2016 and 2000 elections. Additionally, the episode examines the role of electors, the winner-takes-all approach in most states, and the variations in states like Maine and Nebraska. Ultimately, the episode argues that while the Electoral College may present challenges, there are more pressing issues in American politics that require attention.
