JEDEDIAH BILA (GUEST CO-HOST): We talk about the Electoral College. Just remind people why this exists in the first place. Why did the founding fathers believe this was so important? DOUG WEAD (PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN): Balance. Checks and balance, and to give everybody a vote. I mean, we could have the mainstream media and Hollywood and Silicone [sic] Valley all just go to a ballroom at the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara, California, lock the doors, pick the president and the country would be at peace.
