The Constitutional Crisis We Didn't Have This Time

Speaker(s): Arthur Blaustein, Del Shields (host)

Description: In the presidential election of 1968, if votes had gone a little differently, Spiro Agnew might have been named Acting President of the United States. The subject is the Electoral College and the constitutional crisis that could have been initiated by the 1968 election. The guest is constitutional expert Arthur Blaustein and the focus is on the Electoral College (note the people) that votes in the president of the United States. Electors in that system are not required to vote the way the voters of their state did. A second concern is that the popular vote could go one way, and the Electoral College another ... as has happened twice since: in 2000, when Al Gore won the popular vote, and in 2016, when Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Blaustein would like to see the system changed. Arthur Blaustein has held a number of government posts, has taught in universities, and has written extensively for magazines and newspaper syndications, including Harper's, Saturday Review, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Los Angeles Times and Knight-Ridder, as well as for academic and professional journals.
