After the People Vote, Third Edition (2004): A Guide to the Electorial College

By John Fortier and Dr. Norman J. Ornstein

This indispensable and timely guide to the Electoral College brings together leading constitutional, political, and legal scholars to explain how presidential elections really work, from the disputed contests of 1800, 1824, 1876, and the Bush v. Gore battle of 2000 to the debate over abolishing the system, offering a date-by-date roadmap from Election Day to Inauguration Day that will change how you understand American democracy.

The extraordinary presidential election contest in 2000 raised new issues about the electoral process. In the third edition of After the People Vote: A Guide to the Electoral College, leading constitutional, political, and legal scholars use examples from that controversial election and other disputed elections to explain how the electoral college works. The new edition of this popular guide provides a short history of contested elections, including a fresh essay on the 2000 election. It features all-new essays arguing for and against the electoral college, as well as appendixes that are updated and expanded to include electoral college and popular vote totals from past presidential elections. An added section concentrates on the period between Election Day in November and the casting of votes by electors in December. After the People Vote is the only book of its kind that is keyed to the specific dates between Election Day and the inauguration, which allows the reader to focus on the key procedural issues at each juncture of the election.
