Peer reviewedAdkison, Danny M.; Elliott, Christopher – PS: Political Science and Politics, 1997
Examines and corrects political science textbook errors concerning the electoral college. Textbooks frequently attribute specific provisions and functions of the college to the federal government when, in fact, they are controlled by the states. Historical dates and contingency provisions are other areas erroneously cited. (MJP)
