Question: should we be concerned that a growing number of electors are not following the will of the people? If the populace loses faith in their electors, it could cause significant troubles down the road.

Everything is going to hell in a hand basket.

There will be no deliberations; only the final argument of kings.

The electoral college isn't broken. The problem lies with unstable personalities that crave gratification via the twittersphere.

The electoral process is totally controllable at the local and state level.

The states have control over electors in every respect. Each state can institute laws that can punish unfaithful electors or even eject them and replace them.

Usually the political parties select their elector slate. For the Republicans, they did well except for one state, Texas. They picked an obvious loon and a ron paul sleeper. They need to do better vetting their choices too.

I think the dims were blindsided...again...their blue wall has many fractures.
