6. The original intent was |
|
that there wouldn't even necessarily be a popular vote for president. The original Constitutional system of selecting a president was pretty interesting.
Ech state legislature would select electors and each elector would vote for two individuals who would make good presidents. One would have to be from a state other than their own.
Then the House would choose a president from among the top five vote-getters.
An interesting system. No vote of the people needed at all.
It didn't survive the creating of political parties though, the the Constitution was amended.
One by one the states instituted a popular vote for president. South Carolina was the last to give in for the election of 1868.
