UNBIASED Politics

UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she’s breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more. In this episode of UNBIASED University, we break down Presidential Elections and the Electoral College from start to finish. How did presidential elections come about, what do elections look like today compared to the early days, what happens on Election Day, and why does the United States use the Electoral College instead of a direct national popular vote? We walk through the constitutional framework for presidential elections, how electors are chosen, what happens if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, and the rare but important scenarios that most Americans are unaware of. We also explore the historical reasoning behind the Electoral College, the major criticisms and defenses of the system, and how it continues to shape modern campaign strategy and voter turnout. Whether you have always found the Electoral College confusing or simply want a clearer understanding of how the president is chosen, this episode provides a straightforward, nonpartisan explanation of one of the most debated features of the American political system.
