Thread Name: BS: Pre-Election Post-election thoughts
Subject: RE: BS: Pre-Election Post-election thoughts
McGrath,

I beleive, but stand willing to be corrected, that the vote of the electorial college Electors is actually determined by the states- several split the vote proportionatly, most are winner take all. I do not think that this can be changed before THIS election: However, I am not sure what happens if the electors choose not to vote for the candidate that they represent... Perhaps they can ALL vote for someone else, regardless of the vote. Perhaps someone with legal knowledge can address this issue.


btw, thank you for trying to continue this discussion in a reasonable fashion.
