@JoelGratcyk That’s a $1M question. The founding fathers meant them to be a deliberative body, but after Washington and when parties became a thing, never really worked out. In theory, a state without a pledging law could still have electors do whatever.

    @JoelGratcyk But in practice, each party has a slate of electors and the states pick that party’s slate based on the popular vote in the state.

    Constitutionally, a state could pick electors who will just vote for who they feel like.
