- Title
REQUIRING MAJORITY WINNERS FOR CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS: HARNESSING FEDERALISM TO COMBAT EXTREMISM.
- Authors
Fole, Edward B.
- Abstract
Congress should enact a law requiring a candidate for a seat in Congress to receive a majority of votes in order to win tbe election. Congress sbould let states determine what particular procedure to use to determine whether a candidate wins a majority, as there are significantly different methods of identibing a majority winner. While this simple piece of legislation might seem inconsequential-many Americans assume, enoneously, that elections already require majority winners-it in fact would cause states to undertake a form of experimentation in the details of electoral system design tbat would have tbe e#ect of counteracting tbe threat tbat anti-democracy extremism currently poses in America.
