Edwards To Speak At Distinguished Lecture Series

Sept. 15, 2004 - A leading presidential scholar will make the case for abolishing the Electoral College on Sept. 21 at Texas A&M University.

"The Electoral College is a gross violation of the cherished value of political equality," says George C. Edwards III, who holds the rank of distinguished professor of political science at Texas A&M and is the inaugural speaker of the 2004-05 University Distinguished Lecture Series.

Edwards, an internationally recognized authority on the presidency, will speak at 7:30 p.m. at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center adjacent to the George Bush School of Government and Public Service.

His presentation, titled "Faulty Premises: the Flawed Foundations of the Electoral College," will counter the commonly held perception that the U.S. Supreme Court decided the 2000 presidential election, Edwards said.
