Electoral College
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2000-11-07/electoral-college
This year's presidential election is said to be the closest in 40 years -- so close that some political prognosticators predict one candidate could win the popular vote, while the other could win the electoral college vote and the presidency. Diane and her guests explain how the electoral college system works, and talk about how the tight race is making voter turnout efforts more important than ever for the political parties.
