In an op-ed, Professor Jan Ting of Temple's Beasley School of Law argues against efforts to change the electoral college, the system that U.S. founders created for presidential elections. "I would prefer to see both political parties abandon their efforts to change how the electoral college votes," Ting wrote. "The traditional constitutional role of states in the election of presidents should be preserved. This can best be done by maintaining the practice in all states but two of allocating all of each state's electoral votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote in that state."
