More like clowns.
So Romney wins 497 electoral votes instead of 500.

This is BS
Until November 6, there are no electoral college electors. The election decides who the electors actually are. Until the election, there are no electors
Our Framers set up a good system for Presidential elections. If nothing else, it drives the rats crazy.
BTW, the Framers thought most elections would end up in the House of Reps. In their view, the state electors served more as a nominating committee.
There is no crisis when an election ends up decided as per the Constitution.

This is a “hope and change” story from WaPo.
By planting this disingenuous item, they “hope” to “change” your mind about voting for the Republican ticket.
America will begin to rise from the ashes on November 6th!
This is why Paultards need to be ejected from the party. This is precisely why the GOP rewrote the rules at the convention. It wasn’t aimed at the Tea Party or grass roots, it was an effort to purge these Paulbots from the party.
Paultards never, ever had an intention of voting for the eventual nominee. They are in fact working against R/R. And these people hate social conservatives as much as they do Willard. They are part of the reason the convention lacked fire. The floor was divided because these Paultards and their invited guests were not supporting the speakers and doing things like inviting other Ron Paul supporters like Code Pink in.
Paultards should be banned from every conservative forum and completely removed from the party at all levels. Let these conspiracy mongers go try to take over the Democratic party.
More like clowns.
They may be able to jail a faithless elector, though even that isn't certain. I very much doubt the courts can go back and order his vote changed. Nor should they be able to.
The whole tenor of the article is weird. The GOP electors were elected on the basis they would vote for the GOP candidate, not a person of their choice. If they decide that can not in good conscience vote to Romney, the honorable thing to do is resign, not violate their agreement.
What happens if they do this? How could they be sanctioned?
Ron Paul and some of his supporters, are, in their own way, a bunch of maniacs. Listen to Paul talk foreign policy is like listening to a fifth grader.
He’s nuts.
Yeah, it's much better for an elector to ignore the will of the state they represent. Which part of "represent" do you not understand?
I suspect this will be a far more serious problem for the Dufus. If I recall correctly, there have been several anybody but that idiot candidates who have done very well in Rat primaries ... mainly in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee ... but conceivably they could spring up just about everywhere.
Can you say Ron PaulBots. GOP has been infested by this group.
The process for selecting electors varies throughout the United States. Generally, the political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or by a vote of the party's central committee in each State.
Electors are often selected to recognize their service and dedication to their political party. They may be State-elected officials, party leaders, or persons who have a personal or political affiliation with the Presidential candidate.
Then the voters in each State choose the electors on the day of the general election. The electors' names may or may not appear on the ballot below the name of the candidates running for President, depending on the procedure in each State.
Why doesn’t the party replace these electors?
I hope they have big life insurance policies. They would definitely have to move to France.
