On a separate track, do you think that an elector, once chosen, would have standing to compel document production?

I would think that if an elector is required to vote for an eligible candidate they would have standing to compel documentation at any time.

If we can get laws passed that keep that from being necessary it would definitely be good.

....think that an elector, once chosen, would have standing to compel document production?

Electoral College Protocol and Tradition calls for the President of the Senate to ask, "if there are any objections ... " before the votes are tallied.

For some reason, Dick Cheney did not do that in the last election. More tellingly against us, not one elector took exception to this critical lapse.

Ain't that the damndest?

n law, severability (sometimes known as salvatorius, from Latin) ....

Well turnabout is fair play. What Team Obama is doing to the Constitution certainly qualifies a severability in regard to Article II!
