If it is really looking that close, it's hard to imagine someone not pulling some strings, or even for some individuals to decide they have a responsibility to vote faithlessly. This works in combination with: Not quite, the faithless elector would have to switch their vote from Biden to Trump (or vice versa) for it to matter. Them switching to some other person wouldn't matter as none of the candidates would have the 270 electoral votes needed to win (e.g. 269-268-1 result will still go to the house). An elector switching between the two major nominees has never happened, though I imagine there would be a lot of pressure from all sides. Though considering the top three candidates in the electoral college are considered by the house, I imagine there will definitely be some faithless electors to try to give their secret choice (Sanders, a non-Trump Republican) a chance to be President.

The constitution is quite clear that these electors decide who wins an election. --- Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge ... Copied to Clipboard! |
