About the Actor

This video program is written, photographed and produced by Ed Dubrowsky who has spent more than thirty years as an educator and media producer. The results have been a diverse library of effective teaching and learning materials.

Product Description

The Electoral College has seen presidents elected with less than a majority of the popular vote. Among these were Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

This program explains the role of the Electoral College in National Elections and explains why and how the system protects smaller states against the power of larger states or special interest political groups in our democratic society.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ed Wood does educational videos, November 6, 2001

By	Amanda Bigelow "gov love" (OTTAWA, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this movie to use in a community college class on American Government. I could not use it. The movie does not make sense, does not explain the electoral college and is poorly edited and produced. The narrator has an east coast accent that is difficult to understand, the film footage is stock footage of any political or historical event and is thrown together in a way that makes no sense and confuses the viewer. This film very much reminds me of a short Ed Wood movie. The film starts out talking about the electoral college, but then skips to Article II of the Constitution (for no apparent reason) and then goes on to talk about Nixon. All in all this is the worst 30 minute movie I have even seen.
