In "Let the People Pick the President," Jesse Wegman delivers a compelling argument against one of the United States' most enduring and controversial institutions: the Electoral College. With meticulous research interwoven with insights from political campaigns across the spectrum, Wegman not only exposes the flaws and inequalities perpetuated by this system but also illuminates the stark disconnect it creates between the American electorate and the outcome of its presidential elections. As the nation finds itself more divided than ever, with the popular vote and the Electoral College outcome diverging in critical recent elections, Wegman challenges readers to reconsider the very foundations of American democracy. Wegman's narrative is both a history lesson and a modern critique, drawing from the framers of the Constitution's original debates to the present-day frustrations of voters whose voices are diluted or outright ignored due to the winner-takes-all approach. Through engaging prose and undeniable evidence, he illustrates how the Electoral College deepens national divisions and undermines the democratic principle of one person, one vote. "Let the People Pick the President" is not just a critique but a clarion call for reform, making a persuasive case for moving beyond an archaic system to embrace a more equitable and democratic method of selecting the nation's leader. This book is a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of their vote and the importance of every vote counting equally in the quest to truly let the people pick the president.
