The American Constitution is the world’s
oldest. How is it that our 237-year-old Constitution still governs our cou
ntry in 2024? In a phrase: checks and balances. The Constitution created t
he Electoral College as a democratic process to elect the president and vi
ce president. This hotly debated topic garners questions such as: Is the E
lectoral College outdated and unsuited to today’s elections — or does
it ensure that candidates must reach out to smaller and/or more moderate s
tates 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 a
round the world. With the November election just months away\, you won’t
want to miss this timely and insightful look into how the Electoral Colle
ge affects our democracy.
Keynote delivered by Michael Maibach\, a D istinguished Fellow at Save Our States\, giving talks across the country i n defense of the Founders’ Federalism and the Electoral College design.< /p>
