Just wondering a thing, lets say Biden wins it 270-268. So he has 270 of his own people from EC so they will cast vote for him to make him president in December. Never in the history one or two of those electors switched sides? Can they offer money or smth like? I assume it never happens as we have seen from Bush v Gore
 
I'm grateful to Nebraska, as well. It's a bit more reasonable how they allocate EVs but still flawed in my estimation due to gerrymandering of congressional districts.

I appreciate that you may think I misunderstand your point. Perhaps I went too far afield in my 8 bazillionth rant against the EC. You'll have to excuse me. It's been a bee in my bonnet for more than 30 years. Still, making the assumption an outcome based on the suggested change in the rules will be different is no more valid than my suggestion that it would not. In fact, given the available evidence in elections of the last 20+ years, I'd suggest mine is the better argument.

In any event, let's work to find out!!
I respect that you’re in the trenches and know what you’re talking about TX. You’re good people.
 
Thought this was a good thread

A mate last night asked how much difference it would actually make if Trump wins and the first thing I said is think about what we know Trump will mess up starting with vaccine rollout. First thing that will happen in 2021 and it can't possibly go as bad with Biden as it would with Trump.

faithless electors are a thing, unfortunately
