Safeguard: An Electoral College Story
"What if something you did had unanticipated consequences?" Safeguard: An Electoral College Story asks the same question. How does it work? What if we modified the rules?

The Electoral College is explained by former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, Princeton historian Allen Guelzo, and other specialists.
