>>> Texas one of 21 states where it is not illegal for an elector to vote against the people. Anyone know why this is?

Same reason we have a representative republic.

Lets say Hillary were successful in stealing the vote in Texas.... to the point it was quite obvious... or, lets say that it was revealed after the vote that she was going to be indicted for treason. The electors in the EC are supposed to be the last line of defense against a popular vote which is clearly misinformed or very unwise.

The electors are supposed to be better educated and informed in public matters to prevent what happened to us in 2008. Yes... the EC failed us then.

Again, this is only one of Texas’ EC votes, this moron flipping to Hillary won’t flip the whole state’EC votes, will it?

Trump has tentatively over 300 EC votes, so it won’t change anything.

Even if he flips for Hillary it won’t even come close to mattering.

Am I correct?
