You must have a different version of the U.S. Constitution than I do, Skippy...

To further clarify things, THE HISTORIC CONSTITUTIONAL HAND GRENADE, THE 17TH AMENDMENT, MUST BE REPEALED.

If electors can vote as they will, there’s no purpose in having voters.

The general population didn’t vote for any of these Electors. They were elected by party hacks at the states’ Party conventions. Nobody vetted these people or chose them for their own decision-making skills, because they promised to vote as the general election voters instructed.

Claiming that they have a “duty” to substitute their own judgement for that of the voters is like somebody getting an honorary degree from a university and then claiming they are a graduate of that school.
