Defending the Electoral College since 2009
Author Tara Ross and professor Bradley A. Smith are going head-to-head against New York Times Columnist Jamelle Bouie and professor Kate Shaw, in a debate on the “usefulness” of the Electoral College. Tara and Bradley will argue in favor of the Electoral College by highlighting its function as a safeguard against mob rule and protector of minority rights.
The live-streamed debate is hosted in partnership with the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law as part of the Newton and Jo Minow Debate Series. It will be moderated by Emmy Award-winning journalist John Donovan.
