Abstract:
The year 2008 is already turning out to be an exciting year for elections
internationally. A flawed election in Kenya turned violent; unexpectedly
relatively-fair elections in Pakistan and Thailand effectively brought back
civilian rule; the “election” in Russia confirmed the current president’s
choice for his successor; and the ruling party in the Republic of China is
widely expected to lose the election for president. Called the “Greatest Show
on Earth,” by The Economist, the American presidential election to be held on
Tuesday, November 4, will dominate this profound and tumultuous year in
presidential politics around the globe.
Unlike the elections mentioned above, the election for president of the United
States is not direct; that is, a constitutionally mandated system called the
Electoral College is used instead to determine the outcome for that office.
The presentation will cover the constitutional basis and mechanisms for the
Electoral College, its etymology and history, its effect on recent elections
(notably the 2000 election), and its possible effect on the outcome of this year
’s poll.
