No, I mean i don’t get the particulars of the dispute. Faithless electors have always been allowed to exist, but they will never change an outcome because they are loyalists to whatever candidate chose them, and they only turn faithless when changing their vote doesn’t matter.

So what are we doing here?

We are “here” because very serious changes are occurring. Our Constitution tried to “save the people from themselves” as much as possible.

As America changes fundamentally within, these changes grow more serious. When our nation’s people loved liberty, none of this would be an issue. The idea that people could “vote out” liberty used to be preposterous. But in our age of “increasing equality” everyone gets a vote.

As the tide of public opinion changes and more and more want to vote us into a communist state, the harder it will be for the safeguards to protect our freedoms.

They’re making it so a very few can change the outcome.

Extorting/blackmailing just 25 Trump electors would do it.
