探索不受欢迎的总统选举

Exploring Unpopular Presidential Elections

Michael Neubauer, Mark Schilling, Joel Zeitlin

摘要:

在我们国家的历史上,有几次获得最多选票的总统候选人没有赢得总统职位。使用最近的总统选举的主成分分析,我们估计这样的结果在现代条件下的可能性约为5%。我们还调查了从选举人团中消除每个州因其在参议院的代表而获得的两名选举人对这一估计的影响,以及增加他们的影响。最后,我们分析了《全国普选法案》可能产生的后果,该法案如果生效,将把总统职位授予全国普选票数最多的候选人。

英文摘要:

There have been several instances in our nation's history in which the presidential candidate who received the most popular votes did not win the presidency. Using a principal components analysis of recent presidential elections, we estimate the likelihood of such an outcome under modern conditions to be approximately 5%. We also investigate the effect on this estimate of eliminating from the Electoral College the two electors per state awarded due to their representation in the Senate, as well as the effect of increasing them. We conclude with an analysis of the likely consequences of The National Popular Vote Bill, which would award the presidency to the candidate with the largest national popular vote total if it took effect.
