The Electoral College
Must Not Be Abolished
By George E. Campbell
History Department,
LaGrange College
Since the election, the elec
toral college has been subjected
to increasing criticism as an
undemocratic or archaic Institu
tion. Public opinion polls reveal
that an overwhelming majority of
the electorate want to reform or
abolish the college. Most of the
disgruntled point to the discre
pancy between popular and elec
toral votes as a clear indication
of Its weakness. This leads to
a series of questions concerning
the college. Is the discrepancy
between popular and electoral
vote a weakness or a strength?
Is the electoral college undemo
cratic? Would a direct popular
election of the president be bet
ter? On first impulse most
Americans would answer yes to
all of these questions. Sober re
flection, however, might lead to
just the opposite conclusion.
The first and most important
argument for the electoral col
lege is; It allowed what might
have been an indecisive election
to be decisive. The election did
not end in a deadlock. It was not
thrown into the House and the
candidates are not demanding
costly and time-consuming re
counts, nor are they bogged down
in hopeless litigation. A major
crisis has been averted. Ulis is
brought home with force when
one considers that this is the ele
venth time that a crisis has been
averted by the electoral college.
In these instances a candidate
with a plurality has been decisi
vely elected. Only twice has the
electoral college elected a mino
rity President!
The question whether the elec
toral college is democratic is
much more difficult to answer.
Is democracy, as invisioned by
the liberal Democrat, no matter
how appealing It may seem, con
ducive to sound government?
Does mass participation in gov
ernment, unchecked by re
straints, lead to genuine demo
cracy or is it self-defeating?
One of the outstanding features
of our democracy has been in
creasing voter participation. The
only real restraint placed upon
voters is that they be citizens of
the United states and that they
have reached a certain age. No
longer are voters required to own
property, be literate or even be
self-supporting!
A close look at the break
down of the votes cast in the last
election will make the point clear.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Both candidates polled 43 percent
of the votes. The preponderance
of votes for Mr. Humphrey were
from minority groups bloc-voting
and, in general, the lower Income
groups plus intellectual “fellow
travelers.” Those voting for
Mr. Nixon represented the upper
middle classes, businessmen,
professionals and suburbanits.

(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
Here is genuine class conflict.
Bluntly, it is the “have nots”
vs. the “haves.” The electoral
college mediates, usually in fa
vor of the latter. The elec
toral college appears as not so
democratic yet essential to
peaceful elections.
There is another facet of the
electoral college. Humphrey ca
rried 13 states including some
of our most populous such as
New York, Pennsylvania and Te
xas. Nixon carried twice that
number, including a few large
ones, but for the most part the
less heavily populated. Hie ad
vantage of the electoral college
is this: it prevents the domina
tion by a few large states or by
any one section.
One can only conclude that
while the electoral college may
not exactly fit our conception of
mass democracy, it is a neces
sary and useful institution. It
allowed an indecisive election to
be decisive thus preventing a
major constitutional crisis. It
mediated between social and eco
nomic classes and between large
states and small states. It there
fore must be considered an es
sential part of our system of
checks and balances. While ap
pearing undemocratic it has help
ed make possible the free play
and competition of forces pre
venting the concentration of po
wer which would end this free
play which makes genuine free
dom possible. Is this not an ex
pressed purpose of our govern
ment?
