If these communist idiots are “bypassing” the electoral college, then why would they still be sending their electors to vote there?

“Bypassing” is a bad word. This isnt unconstitutional at all.

According to Article 2, Section 1:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress..”

The Constitution says it is up to the state to decide how their electors are to be distributed.

States like Maine and Nebraska have split their electoral votes by congressional districts.

The States have a right to do this. It is perfectly constitutional.
