IIRC like half of the states have laws against faithless electors
regardless in my mind the whole system sucks.
if we really are for the people then the popular vote should Annoying Orange the electoral college. I might not mind as much if we had laws that covered all of the states (I think Texas and New York for example don't have laws against faithless electors, and they have a crapton of them), that way it would really be fair
But because some of these states don't have these laws electors can sway the election
I know it's probably nothing we can do because those states have to adopt those laws themselves but I just don't think it's all that fair a system :/
