Read the 12th amendment and get back to us. The duties and procedures of
the EC were changed.


How electors are selected did not change and there is still nothing
that forces the electors to vote for the person they were supposed to.
Plenty of elections have at least one rogue elector. Most recently was
2004 where one idiot from Minnesota voted for Edwards as president and
vice president. In 1988 a West Virginia democrat voted for Bentsen for
president and Dukakis for VP. In 76 Reagan got a vote and he wasn't
even running.


California only requires the electors to vote for their pledge delegate on
the first two votes. After that they can vote for whomever.


Are you talking about convention delegates? EC electors only get one
swing at it, then it goes to the house if nobody has 270.
