Taming the Electoral College

"Bennett's book on the electoral college is the best book on this subject in years, if not ever...Bennett is clearly more interested in scholarship than he is in persuading the reader to one point of view about the electoral college."Ballot Access News "The electoral college is a disaster waiting to happen. But the brief interest kindled by the 2000 election, in which the electors chose a president who lost in the popular vote, dissipated in the face of 9/11 and other matters of more immediate concern. Without downplaying the importance of wholesale reform, Robert Bennett, a distinguished constitutional scholar, argues lucidly and persuasively that incremental changes could avert major crises, such as subversion of the democratic process by 'faithless electors' who do not adhere to their mandates."Paul Brest, Dean Emeritus, Stanford Law School; President, William and Flora Hewlett FoundationBennett, Robert W. is the author of 'Taming the Electoral College', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804754095 and ISBN 0804754098.
