*The Amazon best sellers rank as of December 2020 for each book is shown in Column D. The ranking is calculated by Amazon using sales and pricing, and changes frequently on Amazon.com. A lower ranking indicates more sales, e.g., a book with a #100 ranking is selling more on Amazon than a book ranked #100,000. Therefore, ranking on Amazon does not necessarily reflect a book’s usefulness or competence on the topic of the Electoral College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
