The Colorado Mesa University Civic Forum will host the Steamboat Institute, a conservative nonprofit organization, for a debate about how we should elect our president.
The debate will discuss whether we should elect through National Popular Vote or through the Electoral College system. This event will serve to educate people on both sides of the issue, and will take place on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Love Recital Hall inside the Moss Performing Arts Center.
The debate will feature Trent England, Executive Vice President of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, a conservative think tank based in Oklahoma. It will also feature Ted Trimpa, the Principal and Chief Executive Officer of the Trimpa group which is a democratic consulting firm.
Each of the two men will represent a side of the debate. Jay Seaton, the Publisher of the Daily Sentinel, (the local newspaper here in Grand Junction) will serve as moderator.
