wish someone could explain all this electoral law more clearly....seems like they could conspire every election to get whoever they want. It all seems too easy, miracle its never happened before.Im missing something.

A healthy fear of the pitchfork army keeps the electors in line, not these state laws that may not hold up to a constitutional challenge. There would be serious civil unrest in the wake of a rogue electoral college resulting in a president the people did not elect. Of course the Democrats desire such a result, many want our institutions to burn, to be replaced by mob rule.

Trump's electors are loyal to Trump. The failure of an elector to vote for the candidate who picked him for a slate never happens because he knows what side his bread is buttered on.

All of this posturing is dumbass stuff at its worst: "If you don't vote for the guy you're supposed to, we won't either, mmmmmm ... K?"

The only people who've announced they're going to do this are Democrats, whose EV ballot envelope might as well say "LOSER" in big blue letters. Not a single Republican has announced so much as a hypothetical interest in this laughable "plan."
