Tomorrow at the American Political Science Association meeting, I’ll be on a panel organized by Rick Hasen and Bruce Cain on the Electoral College. My topic: A Bug in Democracy: Mythical and True Flaws in the Electoral College. My draft working paper is here, and slides are here. Co-panelists: Amel Ahmed, Michael Morley, and Ed Foley. It should be a good discussion.
This year, APSA takes place in Washington DC. Our exact coordinates: the Marriott Wardman Park, in the Taft Room, 10:00am Thursday. If you’re attending the meeting, come by!
Yeah, except the national popular vote compact is poorly written so that it locks in first past the post voting and thus the 2 party system. What happens when literally any state decides that it wants to have a better voting system and switches to STAR or RCV?

Thanks for posting the slides and wish I could be there. There was one error I saw – Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th president (Lincoln was 16th).
Thank you!
Weird, I’ve shown that TR slide repeatedly and nobody caught the mistake. I appreciate it.
