Each party posts a slate of Electors, mostly relatively unknowns, although their names are public.

This is a nothing decision, there have always been so-called “Faithless Electors”; Trump had 2 R Electors not vote for him in 2016, and Hillary had 5 Faithless Electors.

Of course, this still benefits the D’s by not outlawing Faithless Electors, and despite the 2016 results of the R’s ‘winning’ the Faithless Elector battle 2 to 5; historically, there are more RINO’s than Blue-Dog Democrats who would be willing to not vote for their party’s nominee.

Those are one-and-done situations. Once you are a Faithless Elector, your party will never put you on a future slate of Electors.

“Once you are a Faithless Elector, your party will never put you on a future slate of Electors.

and probably not let you get involved in party politics ever again in any position, including cleaning the bathrooms in local county party headquarters .
