For Debate: Should the Electoral College Be Abolished?

As the 2020 presidential election approaches, the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia hosts a traveling debate on a question at the center of public discourse: is Electoral College is outdated or does it remain a vital aspect of our constitutional republic?
Join James Ceaser, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, and Jesse Wegman of the New York Times editorial board and author of the new book, Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College, for a debate as old as the U.S. Constitution itself. Hank Meijer, co-chairman of Meijer Inc., and Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderate.
