No state has any "freelance electors. "If by "freelance electors" she means electors for whom there are no consequences for voting contrary to their pledge, then either all electors in a given state are like that, or none of them.But legal consequences for faithless electors are irrelevant. If millions of people are willing to vote for some "RWNB" as bingbong would call it, his party can easily find 270 out of those millions to be electors. |

You are the one who seems to be stuck to rigid definitions here, since you ascribe some significance to electors having the freedom to vote as they please. That sounds more "OCD" than what you usually claim is "OCD."You're a hypocrite. |

No I'm not wrong at all. I stated that the Constitution does not mandate electors vote according to any pattern, that they are free to vote as they wish. SOME states LATER imposed laws on them, but at the Federal level there is no requirement for them to follow them (you see, Federal law supersedes state laws).Perhaps you ought to take some time and comprehend a book about about our government. A head full of facts means nothing without understanding. You have none. |

I'm kind of struggling to understand why the (supposed) fact that electors have the freedom to vote as they please is somehow being interpreted as a reason to keep the Electoral College.In my, presumably bizarro, world -- the idea that there was a meaningful risk that a relatively small group of electors could overwhelm the will of the people and take over an election would be an argument for a direct popular vote election. |
