Turn back all ye who enter here expecting civilized discussion <| sep |> And we , the Swiss , had even a chance to get 6 weeks , but we didn ' t want to . <| sep |> Snapchat actually added it to their stickers recently . Like , why ? <| sep |> This is wonderful . I love talking and thinkinga lot about sex ! And I grew up conservative evangelical Protestant pastor ' s daughter so I totally get where you are coming from in the religious subcontext <| sep |> There ' s no reason that the EC would consist of actual electors if they are not allowed to vote as they want . Some states require that the Electors vote based on who has the most votes in that state . Even if each candidate got roughly the same amount of votes . Only two states Maine Nebraska split the Electoral Votes . No , I ' m basing it on the fact that you did not vote for a president originally . You voted for an elector . Which makes sense considering that the President of the United States represents the states of the union and not the American people . I ' m not sure how that can be interpret as anything other than that the EC was supposed to pick one they felt was appropriate for the job regardless of who was the most popular public speaker at the time . Again . Some state laws requires that the Electors vote a certain way depending on the election results within that state . so the Electors couldn ' t necessarily tell you to get bent . Like the kid that promises no more homework and ice cream for lunch every day when running for class president , it may sound great to the other kids but it ' s not feasible , while a more realistic candidate but less popular candidate would be a better choice for the actual job . You ' ve pretty much described every candidate who has ever run for the Presidency . Even President Obama didn ' t accomplish everything that he promised to do .
