Electoral College

Listen Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2004 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics

Supporters of the Electoral College say it gives more power to states that might otherwise be ignored in a presidential election. Detractors say the "all or nothing" approach in each state doesn't accurately reflect the nation's collective will. On the heels of the photo-finish 2000 election, we look at attempts to reform the Electoral College, including a new voter initiative in Colorado that could turn the established system on its head.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
