Dole's Frustration: Electoral College vs. Popular Vote
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Senator Bob Dole, a Republican from Kansas, advocated for abolishing the Electoral College and replacing it with a national popular vote system. He believed the current system could lead to a candidate winning the presidency without winning the most votes, as seen in the 1976 election. Despite his stance, the Electoral College remains, with the debate continuing due to concerns about distorting presidential contests and undermining majority rule. Some argue that a national popular vote would ensure every vote counts equally.
