Abstract |
In this chapter, Sheahan Virgin uses a simple math game to illustrate for readers how, mechanically, the U.S. Electoral College can sometimes produce a questionably democratic result: the so-called “wrong winner,” i.e., a president-elect who wins an electoral vote majority but loses the aggregate, national popular vote. |
