        Yes, it is. There is no constitutional mandate requiring faithfulness. Some states have separate laws 1/3

        he will be replaced for violating his oath. His 1 vote changes nothing

        Again, Texas does NOT require its electors to vote for the party's candidate/nominee.

        In 26 states electors can legally chg their vote. The Electoral College was developed in part to stop demagogues like Trump!

        Problems with voting for other Republican:1)No other R could get to 270, election decided by House of Reps, Trump in anyway…

        2)Even if other R candidate could get 270 voters on both sides totally disenfranchised. Populist outrage plays into Trump’s hands.
