re: #257 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Even past the convention, remember that in a Presidential election, what you’re really voting for are your state’s Electors. They can say they’re committed to the mainline candidate, but there is absolutely nothing to prevent them from casting their vote for anybody they want to. I wouldn’t be shocked at there being some teabagger sleepers in the process….

I believe that if a large scale Elector defection occurs the Electoral College will cease to exist less than a decade later. The outrage will be immediate and large scale, but it might take 1-2 election cycles to get the legislation eliminating lined up and passed.
