With the 2012 presidential election now behind us, the unique American presidential election system is fresh in the mind of the public.

This second edition includes a section discussing the National Popular Vote legislative effort. -- Derek Muller, Associate Professor at Pepperdine University School of Law, interviews Ms. Ross about her book.
