On the face of it, that simply doesn’t seem right, but I cannot argue it.
I live in a blue state, and it appears my only hope is that the candidate I support wins the national popular vote, and my electors have to gnash their teeth and cast their votes for my candidate?
More likely, they will amend the rules to say that they have to cast votes with the popular vote, but also have the option to vote as they please, which makes it a “Heads I win, Tails, you lose” setup.
That’s it? Those are my choices as an American? My vote already means absolutely squat.
There are 2 slates of electors. In each state.
DEM electors &
GOP Electors
only one slate is certified as winning in NOV.
