Voters have cast their ballots. Now the 2024 US presidential election comes down to the Electoral College.
- Professor of Political Science and Director of the Elections Research Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Electoral College system puts most of the attention on just a few states – and paints a target on those states’ voting systems.
The Democrats and Republicans try to keep them off the ballot. But third-party campaigns can inject new ideas and force major parties to incorporate a wider array of interests.
Hand-counting every ballot might sound like a great idea, but it’s both slower and less accurate than machine-counting votes.
