    They have never swung an election

    And the source for that comment is a Newsweek article by Alexandra Hutzler that has no cited sources. I guess this is why we don’t use Wikipedia in school.

      Fair enough, I was just rolling with what you brought.

      Does CNN work better? Or CBS?

      I think I would agree with you on a lot: faithless electors should be legislated out of existence and the electoral college sucks. Where I disagree is that I don’t think this is significant enough to discourage voting. Faithless Electors are more of a trivia question than anything meaningful to American politics.
