Nonetheless, the electors will continue to meet in their respective capital cities every four years to cast their electoral votes.
It will require a constitutional amendment to eliminate the practice.
And, somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen...
Which is why I opened my remarks with this is comment #14.
I guess it would take a constitutional amendment, but I think we should just eliminate the electors from the presidential general election process.
It might be possible to eliminate the electors since, if one takes a close look at it, they serve no purpose. As I read that section of the constitution, the electors only vote once and if that one vote does not choose the president and VP, it immediately goes to the House.
But serving no real purpose might make it more trouble than it is worth to try and change it, unless at some point the electors did defy, or almost defy the will of the voters. It was just a lot of whining and moaning from the sore losers this year that had no real support.
