| Sumario: | The writer argues that the electoral college voting system, although imperfect, nevertheless meets all of the six complex and interdependent goals listed in the Constitution—union, justice, domestic tranquility, the common defense, the general welfare, and the blessings of liberty—for presidential elections.
