THE METHOD for electing the President and Vice President
has been debated from the earliest days of the Republic. Now
in this election year, there is renewed interest in modifying
the existing Electoral College.
I am opposed to the “winner take all” requirement of the
system, which gives one candidate all the electoral votes of a
state even though he may have carried that state by only one
vote. This has opened the Electoral College to efforts to dras
tically change, or even throw out, the entire system.
We need to modify the Electoral College. But, we do not
need to destroy the concept upon which it is based, and which
has served our nation well.
* * *
ONE PROPOSAL is to do away with the Electoral College
and put Presidential elections on a direct, popular vote basis.
That sounds very attractive to strict advocates of the “one
man-one-vote” principle. However, it contains inherent dangers
to the American political structure.
The framers of the Constitution made it clear that mathe
matical exactness is contrary to everything we know and
understand about our republican form of government. Witness,
for example, the United States Senate, which has two senators
from each state, regardless of their size or population.
Moreover, direct election would invest enormous power in
densely populated states, and deny smaller states any influence
whatsoever in Presidential elections. Larger states, like New
York, California, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, would virtually
control Presidential elections through the sheer weight and
power of their millions of votes.
* * *
I FAVOR allotting each candidate a percentage of a state’s
electoral votes equal to the percentage of popular votes that
the candidate received. In other words, if a candidate in
Georgia received 33 per cent of the popular vote, he would
be allotted one-third of Georgia’s 12 electoral votes.
Proportionate distribution of electoral votes would ac
curately reflect the popular strength of various candidates.
It would eliminate the “winner take all” system. And, it
would embrace the “one-man-one-vote” principle by not giving
more weight to the vote of one person in one state than to
another person in another state.
If the Electoral College is to be modified, and I believe it
should be, this is the proper course of action.
