Come learn more about the Electoral College and why it should be abolished from former career diplomat Anne Galer.
As a longtime Foreign Service officer, Galer lived and worked in East and Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East and represented the United States in several United Nations organizations. She specialized in international economics and finance.
