Description
Now in its fourth edition, After the People Vote remains an indispensable concise guide to help students and all citizens understand this critical and controversial American political institution. The mechanisms that lead to the final selection of a president are complex. Some procedures are sketched out in the original Constitution and its amendments, and others in federal law, congressional rules and procedures, state laws, and political party rules. This new, expanded edition of After the People Vote-featuring new sections on public opinion on the Electoral College and proposals for amending the Electoral College system-explains how our system of electing a president works, especially the processes that kick in after the November general election date.
