Faithless elector: A court ruling just changed how we pick our president


The decision could give a single elector the power to decide the outcome of a presidential election — if the popular vote results in an apparent Electoral College tie.

The USA just became a banana republic. The Supreme Court just decided the electors in the electoral college can vote for anyone they choose and are not bound by the state's voters decisions.

At the state level it is common to have people in those state positions that are 'good ole boys' with no particular requirements for anything other than political bent.

So if Texas or Georgia voters do swing democratic the electors do not have to swing with them. In red states most folks in both parties lean right. The right side of the democratic party and the GOP are only different by a few measures.

Imagine that. Tens of millions of Americans could want a change but less than 600 could re-elect TRUMP.
