In most states, electoral votes are assigned by a statewide winner take all process”. Currently, nothing prevents these electors from changing their minds during the vote.
I would love to see an amendment to the Constitution that assigns the electors per the outcome in each Congressional District, as I believe the Founding Fathers intended.
Remember each Congressman used to have to wait for a week or more to find out how his Congressional District voted, or get word from their Governor.
Under the amendment I propose, all they have to do is check the outcome in their Congressional District. They then know how they are to vote. If a Democrat Congressional Member has a district that voted for a Republican candidate, everyone knows how they are supposed to vote.
If this is done, we will really have a reflection of the voters will in each Congressional District, and the true will of the people of the United States.
Each Congressional Member reflects the views of the people in their district (approximately 700,00 people) currently. It’s called the People’s House for that reason. A Presidential election would be to find out the will of the people at the time of the election. You would not have Southern California, or South Florida determining the electors for the Conservative parts of their states, by mass electoral fraud.
So we need to hold our breath until these electors vote for Trump. Hillary’s goons would have time to threat and intimidate them into voting for her.
The framers of the Constitution were opposed to the existence of permanent political parties, so it cannot have been their intention to assign electors according to party votes.
