Watch Safeguard: An Electoral College Story 2020 full HD on RapidFlix Free

"What if a move you made had unexpected repercussions you couldn't have predicted?" Safeguard: This question concerning presidential elections is raised in An Electoral College Story. What is the true nature of the system? What if the rules were to be altered? The Electoral College system in the United States Constitution was created by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. The procedure is democratic, however it takes place in stages and via the states. Instead of focusing on a single region or collection of population centers, this design requires candidates to reach out across the country. It also prevents presidents from having complete control over elections, even their own reelection campaigns. Steve Forbes, a publisher and past presidential candidate, Princeton historian Allen Guelzo, and a panel of experts discuss why the Electoral College exists, what it does, and what would happen if it were abolished.
