Which part of the Constitution do we wish to uphold? The Free Speech clause or the Electoral College with electors being free to vote their consciences?

Free Speech. Electors voting their conscience is not a Constitutionally protected freedom.

I think I could argue that the Electoral College rises above that, given its importance in getting the Constitution even ratified in the first place.
