Presidential elections generate the highest-stakes constitutional litigation in the American legal system — and the constitutional framework governing them is simultaneously ancient, deeply contested, and critically underexamined in standard constitutional law resources. The Electoral College, the faithless elector question, the certification process, the Vice President's role in counting, and the equal protection dimensions of differing vote-counting methodologies are all questions with constitutional answers that practitioners must command completely.
The Constitutional Electoral College and Presidential Election Warrior is Volume LXXII of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete constitutional guide to presidential election litigation.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full presidential election constitutional landscape: Article II's vesting of presidential selection in the states and the original electoral college structure; McPherson v. Blacker and state plenary authority over elector appointment; Ray v. Blair and Chiafalo v. Washington's confirmation that states may bind electors and enforce penalties for faithless votes; the Colorado Department of State v. Baca companion case; winner-take-all versus proportional allocation and the constitutional status of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact; Bush v. Gore's equal protection holding and its limitation to the specific facts of December 2000; the Electoral Count Act of 1887, its ambiguities and the January 6 crisis they enabled; the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 and its constitutional dimensions — including the role of the Vice President, the grounds for objection, and the Governor's certification; presidential ballot access from Anderson v. Celebrezze through Burdick v. Takushi; and term limit constitutionality under U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton.
For every election lawyer who may need to fight in the constitutional arena of presidential elections, this is the essential reference.
