Law, Rules, and Presidential Selection
Samuel Issacharoff argues that the electoral college is a historic compromise
that, despite its problematic origins, is not a significant departure
from the weak majoritarianism in American constitutional politics. Indeed,
the greatest distortion in American politics resulting from the electoral college
arises from an excess of majoritarianism, the winner-take-all feature of awarding
electoral votes in almost all states.
