Leach calls to abolish Electoral College
Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa urged abolishing the Electoral College arguing for direct presidential election. He cited the 2000 race in which Bush and Gore could win different outcomes, warning about potential litigation and questions of legitimacy. Leach, re-elected to a 13th term, said resolution may come this week or be challenged in the House.
