Democrats Abroad - Electoral College Lecture
Democrats Abroad Voter Forum March 27: Is it time to abolish the Electoral College?The Electoral College has long been controversial especially when candidates win the majority of votes yet go on to lose when the Electoral College tally comes in. Providing an opportunity to become informed, local expert on the Electoral College and new member to the Costa Banderas Board of Directors, Dr. Samuel Thorn Crockett, will present a lecture and slide show on the historical, social, and political context in which it was created. He will show us how the Electoral College was established in the Constitution and how it has evolved into the current system. Finally, he will present flaws and challenges of the current system that have led many people to call for its abolition. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity for discussion.Dr. Crockett has a long career in education specializing in the Social Sciences and Political Science. He has over 50 years of active involvement in Virginia Democratic politics, which included four different tenures on the State Central Committee, a term on the State Executive Board, and Chair of 10 Congressional Districts Democratic committees. He served as an Elector for John Kerry in 2004. While living in Ecuador, he helped found their Democrats Abroad National Chapter and served as Vice-Chair. He now lives on the north shore of Bay of Banderas.
