Can Electors of the Electoral College vote their conscience?
Can the electors in the Electoral College ignore what their votes "are supposed" to be, and vote on conscience?
I've tried, but I still don't understand: How does the Electoral College assure a fairer vote than the popular vote? Is the electoral college necessary? What are electoral votes? Why do we use electoral voting instead of majority vote? Why is the electoral college necessary? Does the use of the Electoral College mean US Presidential elections are a "hoax"?  Can you explain electorial votes? Why is the Electoral college used instead of the popular vote? What purpose does the Electoral College serve? Should we abolish the Electoral College? Why or why not? Should we abolish the electoral college? In which states is it legal for electors to be faithless and could faithless electors change the expected outcome of the 2016 presidential election? Do we need the electoral college? Would American politics be more or less polarized if state legislatures picked electors themselves, rather than have them selected by popular vote? Why should the electoral college be abolished permanently? Why do we use an electoral college to elect the President instead of using the popular vote like for Congress? Is it highly unlikely that the 37 faithless electors will prevent Trump from assuming office? What if the U.S. had no Electoral College, but instead used the Popular Vote? What are some alternatives to the electoral college? When has a US Congress member defied his/her party to vote his/her conscience? How will write-in votes for President be counted? I.e. now that far more are *certain* to do so -- how's that work in the electoral college? What would happen if none of the candidates received 270 electoral votes? Do you think it would be fair if future presidential elections are decided by the popular vote and not the electoral college? How are electoral votes counted? If the electoral college was replaced, where would be the cut off point for a winning plurality? What are the pros and cons of the Electoral College? Why is the USA electoral college unchanged? What if the U.S. had no electoral college, but used popularity votes? What would be the breaking point of the Electoral College? Why is the proven voter fraud committed by the Democratic Party ignored?
