Alison LaCroix notes that while many Americans are aware of the Electoral College, a significant majority questions its purpose and utility, reflecting growing discontent.
The Electoral College has survived numerous attempts at reform, with over 700 proposals to amend it, indicating it is deeply entrenched despite widespread criticism.
Supporters of the Electoral College argue it balances power between large and small states, while critics claim it is undemocratic and perpetuates inequality.
LaCroix points out that the existence of the Electoral College creates an intermediate body between voters and presidential outcomes, questioning its democratic validity.
