Event Details

What were the Founders thinking when they created the Electoral College? This lecture will provide an overview of the constitutional road to the White House. The focus will be on the complex system designed to decide who gets to be our nation’s Chief Executive—and whether it still needs to be so complicated. Presented by James Coll, an adjunct professor of American and Constitutional history at Nassau Community College and retired NYPD detective.

All welcome!
