The purpose of this belated preface is to set Edwards' classic research into the context of present-day criminal justice concerns, probably the most important of which is citizen-criminal justice relations.

Edwards rebuts a phalanx of pro-electoral college arguments, including claims that the device protects the interests of smaller states and minorities.
