[Congressman Billybob]

Electoral College votes cannot be “redirected.” However, they can be freed from casting an illegal vote. As I have posted at least eight times now, the election in which Horace Greeley ran, but died between election day and the meeting of the Electoral College, freed his Electors to vote as they chose.

The eight cases I referenced, exist and say what I cite them for.

I am hoping to find lawyers who know how to research the law. I am dispairing of finding some.

Right, electors are not constitutionally bound to vote for anyone. If they had become convinced the "winner" of the November election was the wrong person for the job for whatever reason they could simply voted for someone else. In this sense they weren't "freed", they were always "free".

But once the electoral votes have been cast (as is now the case) how can they be recalled. This is no longer a case of access to state ballots in the November election. That ship has already sailed.
