"The authors have produced the definitive electoral college."

--Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Former chairman, Republican National Committee

"The United States has the world's most successful system for selecting a chief executive. But Americans are remarkably, and dangerously, unaware of how the electoral college came to be what it is. Hence we have long needed an explanation of the college--its origins and evolution--as subtle and intelligent as the college itself. That need has now been met by the book which combines equal mastery of constitutional law and political philosophy."

--George F. Will, Columnist

"The best single source for information on the intricacies of choosing an American President."
