 The Electoral College System of Electing a U.S. President
Saturday, January 9, 2021
10:30 am via Zoom
Presented by Lawrence Bashe
Co-hosted by Plainfield Public Library with the Historical Society of Plainfield I Drake House Museum
The Electoral College system of electing a President in our country is unusual, confusing, and some say, undemocratic.
How did the Founding Fathers come up with the process and why? How is it affecting the modern election of Presidents? Can or should we try to change it and how could it be changed?
We will discuss specific elections in which the Electoral College system had a dramatic effect on the results.
