Remember, under the Electoral College, a faithless elector could deflect

That is a concern. I was thinking about that.
Didn't know that.
Thirty-two states have some sort of faithless elector law, but only 15 of those remove, penalize or simply cancel the votes of the errant electors. The 15 are Michigan, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington, California, New Mexico, South Carolina, Oklahoma and North Carolina. Although Maine has no such law, the secretary of state has said it has determined a faithless elector can be removed.
Monday's Supreme Court decision, however, is so strong that it would seem to allow states to remove faithless electors even without a state law. Duke University School of Law professor Guy-Uriel Charles said that nonetheless, it would be prudent for states to pass laws to prevent electors from going rogue.
Michigan...if your not cheating your not trying

Preventing electors from voting against the will of the people is something that short sighted people love like everything else we've seen so far.
Democrats wouldn't be questioning it if it wasn't used against them. But it certainly has a tremendous benefit when people vote far left radicals in that will be objectively worse for the country. Faithless electors could prevent it. Not anymore though. Mission accomplished. Another blow to the "racist" electoral college system.
We should really just implement the popular vote and have california and new york determine every election. The average American, based on the current polling numbers, has an IQ at or below a voter from one of those two states anyway.

What are you babbling about? SCOTUS ruled against faithless electors w/a conservative majority.
Yes because they've also been used against their power. Ignore my tirade on democrats, the entire crux of my argument hinges on faithless electors screwing up the ability for bad people to gain power.
