Students from Dr. Alexander's classes and Pi Sigma Alpha are once again aiding the professor in sending out surveys to the electors from the 2012 presidential election. Alexander is one of the preeminent international scholars doing research on the Electoral College, with particular emphasis on so-called "faithless electors," or those who change their pledged votes. In past years he has published articles in top political science journals, and in 2012, he published his third book Presidential Electors and the Electoral College: An Examination of Lobbying, Wavering Electors, and Campaigns for Faithless Votes with Cambria Press.
Alexander's students have gained valuable real world experience helping him collect the information that goes into his publications, and in past years, students have co-written articles that have appeared in academic journals. During election years, Alexander is also in high demand by news services from both the United States and abroad for his analysis of presidential elections and the electoral college.
