The U.S. Electoral College

By Kathryn Walton

What is the Electoral College? The Electoral College was a compromise reached about how the president should be elected. Some of the Founding Fathers wanted only Congress to vote for the president, while others felt it was important that the president be elected by the colonists. Today, the Electoral College is still used to elect the president. Through this achievable text, young readers will learn about how the Electoral College works and why it's so to the U.S. voting system today.
