Keep the Republic

A blog dedicated to expressing faith in God, hope in America, and a conviction to preserve the principles on which the nation was founded. Benjamin Franklin, after the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, was asked by a concerned citizen of Philadelphia what type of government had been created after four months of closed-door meetings by the delegates; he responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

The Electoral College

Gary Gregg, director of the McConnell Center for Political Leadership at the University of Louisville, has written for National Review Online a three-part series on the wisdom of having, and the utility of keeping, the Electoral College. His defense of the Electoral College can be found here, here and here.

The second installment in the series is the most comprehensive. I hope to add additional information about why the Electoral College is a good idea this weekend.

This breakdown of the 2000 vote by county is always fascinating to consider.
