Phyllis Schlafly is the Founder of Eagle Forum.

The electoral college was the system designed by America's founders to elect our president. Unlike a straight popular vote, the electoral college allows for equal representation between large and small states. It's a system that has worked very well in America for over two centuries.

There is a movement afoot to do away with this system and it appears to be gaining momentum in states throughout the nation. Abolishing the electoral college and going to a popular vote system could give virtually unstoppable control over the White House to any coalition created within large population areas.

Vic and Phyllis take listener input as they expose the details regarding this potential overhaul to our current election system.
