2 The Electoral College

3 Constitutional Foundations Pre-12th Amendment Post-12th Amendment

4 Constitutional Foundations: Article II, Section 1 The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves [...] The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the president [...] In every case, after the choice of president, the person having the greatest number of votes of electors shall be the vice president [...]

5 Pre-12th Amendment President Vice President

6 Constitutional Foundations: 12th Amendment (1804) The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice President [...] they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President [...] and the person voted for as Vice President The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President [...] if no person have such a majority, then [...] the House of Representatives shall choose [...] The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice President, shall be the Vice President [...]

7 12th Amendment: Implications 1. Encourages rise of party ticket (President & VP) 2. Allows citizens to learn about national candidates from local co-partisans

10 How Does It Work? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 You Vote Popular winner s slate of electors chosen Electors meet and cast votes for president

11 Notable 1. Electors are not legally bound to follow electoral vote of state 2. A faithless elector has never decided an election 3. Only 2 presidential elections decided by House (1800 & 1824) 4. Corrupt Bargain (1876): Super interesting 5. Last EV winner not to win overall popular vote: George W. Bush

14 Choosing Electors: Presidential Candidates On or before October 1 of the presidential election year, each party s nominee must file a list containing the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the 55 electors pledges to him/her.

15 Why an Electoral College? 1. Information Barriers Early American citizens likely did not know enough to evaluate presidential candidates from states far away Elect people with more knowlege 2. Federalism Elections are hard to administer with a tiny national government Geography (then) as important as Party ID (today) 3. Slavery Southern states benefit from electoral college system
