Read more carefully:

The time of choosing the electors—that’s “election day.”

The day on which the electors vote—that’s the day the Electoral College votes—the electors voting on the same day in every state.

The requirement regarding the “same day” refers to the day the electors vote, not the day the citizens vote.

Yes I think you have a point.

It says "the Time of choosing the Electors" but "the Day" of the electors voting.

I guess the Constitution would be more specific if it wanted election day to be on only one day.

So the electors have to vote on the same day but the voters have to vote within the same "time".

Thanks for the feedback all.

Ding, ding, ding, ding .... we have a winner.

But, Arthur, if you follow this thread ... or others like it that have been posted before ... you'll find that there aren't a lot of folks willing to, as you say,

"Read more carefully".

“The time of choosing the electors”

It does not say the “day” of choosing the electors. It says the “time” of choosing the electors.

In 2008 “time” has been defined as up to one month prior to November 4, depending upon the state.
