Electoral
chooses[
If President Gerald R. 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.

When voters go to the polls on
Nov. 2, they will not only vote for
their presidential choice but they

The number of electors a state
has is determined by the number of
representatives i t has in Congress,

"Regardless of how close the
popular vote may be in a state, the
winner nearly always receives the

said.
PADGETT CITES this
illustration of how the electoral
college system could result in the
election of a minority president.
"Candidate Smith may win in
populus states with large electoral
blocs but only by very slim
margins," she said. "His opponent,
candidate Jones, may landslide to
victory in small to middle size area

electoral votes."
"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.
