Not a good idea. Actual people as electors prevented a President Aaron Burr, an ancestor of Al Gore, with a comparable megalomaniac complex.

Actual people as electors prevented a President Aaron Burr, an ancestor of Al Gore, with a comparable megalomaniac complex.

The fact remains that, those actual "people as electors", should not be voting against the will of the people. The people are the deciders, and they should not be overruled by the "dictatorial" decision of one elector who probably didn't even vote for the candidate that the voters chose by majority.

That a candidate isn't fit to be president, as you suggested, should not enter into the picture. It's the people who decide, and not an elector who might not represent the will of the people. That is not to suggest that "the will of the majority of voters" is how the president should be elected, because, the electoral college system has worked very well since it was instituted.
