[QUOTE="ignerntbend, post: 3240648, member: 6981"] The states are already allowed to ''Bind" electors. Some states do, some states don't. There is no requirement in the constitution that an elector vote for the candidate that won the popular vote in his or her state. That's why you hear occasionally about "unfaithful" electors. A recent example is how Trump's electoral count on election day(306) changed to 304 by the time the vote was certified. The states that bind electors do so with state law rather than Federal law. Can state law can be changed without a constitutional amendment to bind electors some other way? Maybe. Did I say it made sense? I didn't say it made sense. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
