Should the Electoral College Be Abolished in Favor of a Popular Vote? The Electoral College forces candidates to build broad coalitions across states, protects smaller states, and confines disputes to a handful of states. Did Citizens United Let Big Money Buy American Elections? The 2010 decision protected independent political speech by groups of citizens; it did not allow contributions to candidates beyond the legal limits. Is Gerrymandering Only a Republican Problem in American Politics? Both parties draw maps for advantage; the Supreme Court held in 2019 that federal courts cannot decide partisan cases, so fair maps need state reform.
