They explain how the Electoral College works, why it was established, and the role it plays in electing the president and vice president.

They walk listeners through the steps from Election Day to the final vote count in Congress, and what happens if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes.

The hosts also address criticisms of the Electoral College, such as the potential for a candidate to win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote, and the ongoing debates about possible reforms.
