June 6th, 1944 marked the 75th anniversary of one of the most critical operations in our Nation's history.

This course will cover the planning of the operation, its execution and the high price paid by the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen whose victory opened a door to regaining freedom in Western Europe.

The Electoral College was established by the founding fathers as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The US has seen five Presidents, including our current President, elected without earning the popular vote. Similar to our system of representation in the Senate, the Electoral College over-represents certain states: 31 states are over-represented in the Electoral College relative to population, and our four most populace states are greatly underrepresented (California, Texas, New York, and Florida). Are calls to abolish the centuries-old system valid? This class will review the origins of the Electoral College and the ramifications of the system on modern politics.
