520 1 _a"In light of the Election 2000 controversy, this important new book challenges us to evaluate the fairness of the U.S. electoral college system and to consider six legitimate alternatives to it. A team of thirty-seven top U.S. political experts tackle the fundamental questions that go to the heart of the current debate. How would reform of the Electoral College affect our federal system of government, national government institutions, and party system? What effect would reform have on the conduct of campaign organizations during elections, media coverage of campaigns, citizen participation, and distribution of power?
520 8 _aOn the basis of these deliberations, each political expert indicates the extent to which he or she supports or opposes the Electoral College and the various alternatives to it."--Jacket.
