It is important that all of us consider eligibility when voting for electors.

For electors??? What?
Electors aren't running for the office of POTUS.

That is a false strawman argument. Delegates vote on who will or will not be the Electors responsible for electing the President of the United States in the Electoral College.

Well, when you read the Constitution, you will find that it is electors who choose our presidents. In modern times, electors are selected in all states by the voters. However, the Constitution leaves it up to the state legislatures to determine how each state chooses electors. They have chosen to let the voters to vote for electors. And, thus, it is important that voters consider the qualifications of candidates for president. Please, take that job seriously - no exceptions!!
