I have no clue what are those names but i understand it has to be important for neggros . <| sep |> Wow im really late to the comments but just to put this opinion out there I completely agree with Brady ' s point about how ' faithless electors ' is a red herring to any discussion about problems with the electoral college . The key hallmark of the electoral college system is its unequal doling out of voting power to certain individuals in certain areas , so the only real argument for its abolishment is that this unequal voting power is unfair and distortionary for democracy . After all , ' Faithless electors ' seem to be a quirk of the current version of the America ' s electoral college that is completely unrelated to its central function of ensuring that all states have a say in political affairs it is entirely possible to preserve the essence of the electoral system while instituting a rule that bans the practice of faithless electors . And thus , no real energies are generated from the side of those who benefitted from the election this time round to repeal the electoral college system when they hear about ' faithless electors ' they would only want to fix this little fluke while maintaining the overall structure . Talk of ' Faithless electors ' can present a dangerous illusion of common interest between supporters across the political divide , when ultimately one group would certainly wish more strongly for its perpetuation for their own purposes .
