Adam Ruins Everything
S01E07 Adam Ruins Voting
This episode delves into the complicated origins of the Electoral College, revealing that the Founding Fathers intentionally designed it to limit the voting power of the average American. Rather than envisioning a system where the populace had a direct say in elections, they created a framework that prioritized the influence of a select group, reflecting their concerns about widespread democracy. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights the implications of this decision on contemporary politics and how it shapes the electoral landscape today.
