Ford receives more popular votes in iNovemuer man Jimmy uarier, ne will be reelected. And by the same token, if Jimmy Carter receives more votes than Ford, he wins. Right? Well, not necessarily. America's system of presidential elections has a twist that could result in the election of a president wno received a minonty ol votes from the people, Sue Padgett a USC research associate, explained in a recently published article. "The 'winner take all' aspect of the electoral college has as its concomitant the very real possibility that an individual can become elected even though he received a minority of the popular votes cast." Padcett said in a university publication of the Bureau of Governmental Research and Service. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE had its origin with the Continental Congress of 1787, which designed 11 ! J A!^1 -1 A? _ _ ine presidential election process. "While it may seem strange to us today, most of the delegates to the convention had deepseated anxieties about establishing direct election by the people," Padgett said. ?

PADGETT CITES this illustration of how the electoral college system could result in the election of a minority president.

"Thus, when the number of votes from Jone's landslide victories are added to his large number of votes obtained in near miss elections, it could well turn out that he has received more popular votes than his opponent who, however, did have the good fortune to carry states wim large electoral diocs,'' she said. Since the Civil War there have been only two instances in which a candidate has won the majority of popular votes but lost in the electoral college and lost the election. They were Sanuel J. Tilden in 1876 and Grover Cleveland in 1888, Padgett noted. "TODAY, THE FOES of the electoral college system well outnumber its few advocates,'1 she said. "Most political scientists view the electoral college as an anachronism, part of an evolutionary process of developing government which may have served a purpose briefly," she said, "but has for years been an unnecessary and confusing part of the presidential selection nrocess." "The prospects of improvement aren't good," Padgett said. "Regardless of the space of newspaper editorials and scholarly articles that appear in any election year advocating either the reform of or abolition of the electoral college altogether in favor of direct popular election of the present, it appears that the electoral college will probably remain a part of the presidential process for some time to come," Padgett said. | kCE SPECIALS C ? * *p nts 1 } P.M.
