The 2016 election caused many pundits and citizens alike to decry the Electoral College. This book explains the dangerous and unconstitutional implications of the National Popular Vote Bill, which is quietly passing in state houses across the nation. Ever since the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College, Congress has tried to overturn it. The latest attempt is taking place not in Congress, but in state legislatures around the country, where a well-financed campaign by a private California group calling itself "National Popular Vote" (NPV) is proposing an "interstate compact" to circumvent the process for amending the U.S. Constitution. If adopted by states representing a majority of electoral votes, the signatory states would bind themselves to ignore the popular votes within their respective states, and instead allocate their electoral votes to the candidate whom the media proclaimed to be the "national popular vote" winner. In this new history of the Electoral College, law professor Robert M. Hardaway lays bare the constitutional loopholes that have allowed this movement to succeed in states representing approximately half the electoral votes necessary to purportedly bind those states to ignore the popular vote of the people within their respective states. The presentation of the information in this book to state legislatures considering the compact, resulted in complete reversal of preconceived perceptions about how presidential elections should be conducted.

Excerpt from Direct Elections and Law-Making by Popular Vote: The Initiative, the Referendum the Recall, Commission Government for Cities Preferential Voting Bibliography printed at the end of the book, from which, together with first-hand documents and correspondence, its material has been drawn, the authorities being named in footnotes. The intent is simply to bring the essential points to the at tention of citizens, that they may have a full com prehension of the nature and tendencies of the system which they are asked to substitute for the system established by the founders of the Republic. Incompleteness must of necessity characterize such a work as this covering a movement in pro gross and changing in aspects, here and there, as it bounds on. The data are brought up to the spring of 1912, when measures for the introduc tion of the devices in whole or in part are pend ing in various States. Accordingly a supplement ary edition may later be brought out revising the present issue, and bringing the text to date.

Recent U.S. elections have defied nationwide majority preference at the White House, Senate, and House levels. This work of interdisciplinary scholarship explains how “winner-take-all” and single-member district elections make this happen, and what can be done to repair the system. Proposed reforms include the National Popular Vote interstate compact (presidential elections); eliminating the Senate filibuster; and proportional representation using Ranked Choice Voting for House, state, and local elections.
