Yes, it is easy to forget that state legislatures control the manner in which electors are chosen. So far as I know, each state legislature now permits voters to select the electors either statewide or by congressional district, but any state can change those rules whenever it wishes to do so.
The way things now stand, with voters playing such an important role in selecting electors, people who have a preference for their own special little NBC definition should make that preference known to voters and to electors because, as should be obvious to everyone by now, they are the folks who select our presidents.
Well said. I looked at FL presidential election law a couple years ago. The political parties formally notify the state of their candidates, voters vote, electors vote, results counted, the results are sent to DC. The process is clearly set out, and if followed, I don't see how it can be challenged in any court.
Enforcement of presidential qualifications should be explicitly set in state law for consideration when the political parties submit their names of candidates. No political party should be able to railroad an unqualified candidate onto any state ballot.
