You can't bet on a horse that wasn't in the race.

Are you saying that Electors will have to choose from only those (eligible) people who were on the ballot? In other words, McCain, Nader, Barr, Keyes, etc.?

I hope you are right. I was under the impression that the Electors could choose whomever they wanted, hence Hillary.

No, you were right the first time--the Electors can choose whomever they want. That's what they're for.
