THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE: Democracy Gained or Lost?

The Electoral College. It's how the U.S. elects its president but many of its citizens don't know what it is and how it works. The Electoral College. How did we get it? And should we keep it? Some argue "yes", others say "no".

Her guests are John Harwood, Chief Washington Correspondent for CNBC and a writer for The New York Times and Frederick Schauer, professor of law at the University of Virginia. He's a leading expert on the First Amendment, constitutional law and legal philosophy, who taught at Harvard University for many years.
