Extra: Should America Scrap The Electoral College?

This past Friday marked two years since the attack at the United States Capitol in which rioters attempted to block votes which certified Joe Biden as President.

As part of the massive Omnibus spending bill Congress just passed the Electoral Count Reform Act, which lawmakers hope will make challenging election certification results more difficult and prevent a similar event as we witnessed on January 6th, 2021.

Last week, Managing Editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics Kyle Kondik joined the Rundown’s Dave Anthony to explain why the law will be helpful.

The two also discussed the ongoing challenges of America’s Electoral College system and the effort to pick a President via a national popular vote. Kondik, who has written about the subject extensively, explained some of the intended and unintended consequences of enacting such a change.

Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with the Managing Editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics Kyle Kondik and get a better understanding of America’s election system and the debate over the Electoral College.
