	U.S. Electoral College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The electoral process was modified in 1804 with the ratification of the 12th Amendment and again in 1961 with the ratification of the 23rd Amendment.
		Electoral votes for each state are determined decennially by the United States Census (see also United States Congressional Apportionment).
		In many states, the electors are legally free to cast their votes for anyone they choose, although in some states to vote for someone other than their pledged candidate is a misdemeanor, in others a felony, and in a few it is merely illegal without penalty.

		Carhart estimates there are about 2,700 abortionists in America—90 percent who perform abortions up to the 12th week of pregnancy, 9 percent who will operate between 12 and 20 weeks and 1 percent, like him, who perform late-term abortions.
