I agree with the lawyers who say the electors should not be forced to pick their state’s winning candidate. That clearly goes against the founders’ intent and turns the electors into mere figureheads.


In the past:

Republicans wanted the EC to stop a few lib areas from deciding elections, and Dems wanted it to be majority rules.

The present:

The only people that should count are the 538 people that vote in the electoral college.

What could be more fair than that? /s

But if the EC voters are meant to represent their state, shouldn’t that be the “popular vote” in their state only?

Would that change any states?
