    No, the Framers didn't design the "electoral college" with Trump in mind.http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/the-electoral-college-shouldnt-save-us-from-trump/508817/?utm_source=twb …

        The wonderful @Profepps does constitutional law the way it is supposed to be done, with transparency and accuracy. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/the-electoral-college-shouldnt-save-us-from-trump/508817/?utm_source=twb …

        why have actual electors if they were "faceless hacks"? just allot the votes

        Story spoke of the supposed "independence of the electors" and how practice soon was different from "expectations" there in his Commentaries

        issue for me is not 'original understanding' but current practice ... that's not about electors doing anything independent

        Aren't you imputing too much unanimity amongst FFs? Madison and Morris def thought electors would converge on one Exec candidate.

        And the probity of the electors was certainly of concern. Main question was to keep exec free of lege horsetrading and factional meddling.

        wouldn't #ElectoralCollege indy vote simply be a bit of #ProceduralHardball along lines of repub blocking of Supreme Court? /2

        Isn't real question one of procedure? I.e., not speculation on intent of framers, but, what does the Constitution actually say? /1

        Your piece on the EC overlooks the idea of political parties and voters having real options beyond Dem and Rep.
