Thats fine andmi am for them too,,thismis just dealing with recount laws to prevent the abuse of recounts to disrupt and denyna legitimate election.
I like your thinking. I also recommend that states disadvantage or outright ban from the ballot any candidate who does not offer solid evidence that they do not have an undisclosed neurological disorder.We do not know that Hillary has Parkinson’s disease, but if she does it will get pretty hard to conceal in a couple of years, I would think. And as we have seen, at least one national party will nominate a candidate who has no compunction at all about lying.
Another issue is the “faithless elector.” Whatever may be said about the fact that the Constitutional scheme clearly contemplates Electors being appointed by the states to wisely choose the POTUS - and plenty can indeed be said - what are we to think of a nineteen year old Elector announcing the intention to be “faithless?” If the POTUS is required to be at least 35 years old, what justification can there be to appoint an Elector under the age of twenty???The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
