Summary:
"Electoral Bait and Switch is prescriptive and accessible to the general reader. If it is not challenged and overturned, we are likely to face a continual series of electoral and constitutional crises as the current Elector system discriminates heavily against minority and poorer voters. The winner-take-all method of allocating Electoral votes also results in large pockets of "useless votes" and a system in which where your vote counts for far more than how you vote. Most ominously, evidence is now clear that the Electoral-Vote system has opened the door for voter suppression and manipulation of elections by domestic and foreign conspirators"-- Provided by publisher.
