One Person, One Vote? [Debuts on PBS's Independent Lens on Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. CT available to stream on the PBS App; for more information, log on to pbs.org/independentlens.] Maximina Juson's educational, award-winning, eye-opening, timely, 83-minute documentary that traces the strange history of the Electoral College that governs the presidential elections -- the only elected office in the U.S. that is not decided based on the principle of one-man-one-vote -- and which has led to two recent elections where the candidate receiving the fewest total votes was ultimately declared the victor, and in the late 19th century the Southern states insisted that all their White population and 3/5 of their slave population be counted in determining the electoral votes awarded to each State, even though slaves were not allowed to vote in any of these Southern States, and if the Northern States did not accept this compromise, the Southern States threatened (again) to leave the Union; it consists of commentary by law and political science professor Akhil Reed Amar, political science & Presidential Studies professor George C. Edwards III, historian and visiting law professor Paul Finkelman, Democratic Party elder Polly Baca, electors Patricia McCracken and Kit Maclean, Columbia Journalism School Dean and professor Jelani Cobb, author and National Review senior editor Richard Brookhiser, Brooklyn Law School associate professor of law Wilfred Codrington III, The People Pick the President author Jesse Wegman, Senator Mike Foote, national popular vote activist Rose Pugliese, author Dr. Carol Anderson, Republican activist and founder of the Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives Derrick Wilburn, and candidate for Congress Lauren Boebert.
