There is nothing that binds an elector to vote for anyone that he/she does not want to vote for. The writers of the Constitution wanted a way to override the people if they made a stupid choice. There is also nothing in the Constitution that says the people select the president. The people select electors who promise to vote for a certain candidate.

The writers of the Constitution wanted a way to override the people if they made a stupid choice.Do you always make up such silly lies? Please do point to just one writing by any Founder where they discuss the notion of "the people making a stupid choice" had to have some resolution.

"The people select electors who promise to vote for a certain candidate." No, the people select electors who are expected to exercise their best judgment as to who should govern the country.
