	Ohio electors to vote before state recount \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		COLUMBUS, Ohio – As it has done for 200 years, Ohio's delegation to the Electoral College is to meet today to cast ballots for president and vice president – but this time, there are demands that the electors wait until a recount.
		The Electoral College's vote in the Ohio Senate chamber is expected to be accompanied by protests outside the Capitol sponsored by groups that don't accept that President Bush won the battleground state by 119,000 votes, guaranteeing his victory over Democrat Sen. John Kerry.
		Therefore, any meeting of the Electoral College in Ohio prior to a full recount would in fact be an illegitimate gathering," said John Bonifaz of the National Voting Rights Institute.

		Electors appeared in person, entrusted their vote to another elector, or more often sent an electoral embassy, even if they were present (as the king of Bohemia in 1657 and 1690, or the elector of Mainz in 1741).
		The electors proceeded on horseback from the city hall to the cathedral, and convened in the electoral chapel, and swore to choose the worthiest man, and to accept the majority vote.
		In 1741 the electors decided to exclude the ambassadors of Karl's daughter Maria Theresia, queen of Bohemia, not because she was a woman but because of the pending dispute over that crown (the elector of Bavaria had just seized Prague and had himself crowned king of Bohemia in December 1741).

		The certificate given to the soldier for his toil and blood in the day of battle, depreciated and became worthless; every public contract was uncomplied with; a total disregard prevailed as to national sentiment and honour; symptoms of distrust, jealousy, and rivalship among the several states appeared.
		The legislature of one state in the Union declares two acts passed by a majority of the representatives of the whole American people, to be unconstitutional and not law, but utterly null, void, and of no effect.
		The sound of peace would be no longer heard; the sentiment of union would no longer continue, but the sword would be drawn, the union for ever dismembered, and the bloody history of Europe would be retraced in the melancholy annals of divided and hostile America.

		Since it is the electors who actually determine who will be President, we are relying on the likelihood that say, electors chosen by Republicans will automatically vote for the Republican candidate.
		In general this does happen, but there have been cases of so-called “faithless electors”: these are electors who voted contrary to the wishes of the party that appointed them.
		In the states that do bind their electors, either there is no penalty, or the penalties range from a fine ($1000 in Wisconsin) to conviction of a fourth-degree felony (New Mexico).

	FairVote - States that bind electors
		There is no federal law that requires electors to vote as they have pledged, but 29 states and the District of Columbia have legal control over how their electors vote in the Electoral College.
		This means their electors are bound by state law and/or by state or party pledge to cast their vote for the candidate that wins the statewide popular vote.
		Most of these state laws generally assert that an elector shall cast his or her vote for the candidates who won a majority of the state’s popular vote, or for the candidate of the party that nominated the elector.

	RAND \| News & Events \| Commentary \| How America's Electoral College Impacts Europe
		Because of the Electoral College, neither presidential candidate is focusing his attention on Europe’s natural American constituency — the great urban areas of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago that are centers of a global outlook, international commerce and millions of immigrants.
		The European Union's constitutional compromise of “qualified majority voting” has its roots in the same problem that led to the Electoral College: how to balance the inevitable political power of populous states with the concerns of small states fearing they might be dominated in a political union.
		If a candidate and party believe they have a “lock” on a state’s electoral votes — a strong lead that makes losing the state extremely unlikely — they will ignore the state and focus on “battleground states,” areas where polls say the race is extremely tight.

		Traditionally in Indiana, the state party conventions nominate an elector and an alternate elector for each congressional district in the state, along with two other electors and two other alternates who are designated as running "at large".
		Since the major political parties usually choose "alternate electors" at the state party convention, a designated alternate is usually chosen by paper ballot and then commissioned by the Governor as an elector after taking the oath of office.
		After the electoral votes from all states are states are counted, the Vice-President of the United States declares the candidates receiving a majority of the electoral votes cast to be President-elect and Vice President-elect.

		Phil doesn’t mention that the electors are not themselves elected by popular vote but are nominated by political parties in each of the states, nor does he mention that these nominations are not consistent across the States.
		He concludes that, the framers chose the Electoral College system because, quoting Alexander Hamilton, “A small number of persons, selected by their fellow citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.” I’d say that is a fair assessment.
		Forcing Electors to vote in compliance with the popular vote would go a long way towards correcting that error, as would, alternately, allowing the electors the freedom to vote as they will, but converting the position to a publically elected post and forcing each elector to campaign for the position.

		It will immediately be objected that what we are proposing is an invitation to electoral anarchy, that history has rightly stigmatized the thirteen electors who switched their votes in previous presidential elections as "faithless electors." Besides, Vice President Gore himself has said he would "not accept" Republican electors.
		Legally, because under the Electoral College electors are not bound by the Constitution to follow the popular vote, and in twenty-four states they remain free to vote their conscience.
		The Electoral College was created by the Framers under a deal with the slaveholding states to give those states added clout in the new Union.

		If we consider the protective duties, which are in a great degree the source of the surplus revenue, beneficial to one section of the Union and prejudicial to another, there is no corrective for the evil in such a plan of distribution.
		The safety of the public funds and the interest of the people generally required that these operations should be checked; and it became the duty of every branch of the General and State Governments to adopt all legitimate and proper means to produce that salutary effect.

		All of a state's electoral votes are customarily cast for the presidential candidate of the winning group of presidential electors -- none for the candidates of other groups which may have received many popular votes in November.
		Presidential electors were elected almost exclusively by popular vote by the time the century was a third over, and the electoral votes of a state were assigned on a winner-take-all basis.

	The Number of Electors Necessary for the Election of a President
		Even if Vice President Gore is successful in his legal contest of that result, and the electors certified and ascertained on November 26 and 27 are unable to cast their votes in the Electoral College, the number of electors appointed in fact, as well as in law, will be 538.
		Here, instead of a few electors failing to vote, and thereby reducing the number needed for election, the same effect could be achieved by one or more States failing to select electors, or by a pending challenge to the electors selected.
		Interpreting the Constitution to require an absolute Electoral College majority for election to the Presidency is also correct in view of the later characterizations of the presidential election process by the Framers, where the "whole number of votes," rather than the number of votes cast, are referred to.

		Electors as prescribed by the Golden Bull did not become the fashion; but the habit of common deliberation became firmly established, and the carelessness of the Luxemburg Emperors, as to all matters not affecting their hereditary dominions, gave the Electoral College an opportunity of playing a foremost part in national history.
		Fourteen years later the same Electoral Union was strong enough to adopt for imperial elections the precedent, already commonly set in ecclesiastical elections, of prescribing the direction of the policy of their nominee.
		Imperfect as the union established between the Scandinavian kingdoms at Calmar proved to be, it had dealt a mighty blow to the power of the Hansa, while the choice of the Danish king as Duke of Schleswig and Count of Holstein had practically extended the Scandinavian Power to the banks of the Elbe.
