“I’m trying to decide if I want to go on record, and the answer is yes,” Frank Luntz told Piers Morgan Wednesday. “I think that he loses because of this debate performance.”
It’s not that you are voting for a party ticket, instead you are voting for electors picked by the party, with the only job of supporting the candidate. (In my state, the ballots even say we are voting for “Electors For …” .) And in some states, once the electors are chosen on that ballot, the law says they must vote for their pledged candidate. So it’s not easy for a candidate to just drop out. Those electors may not be given the choice to change.
Yeah our system drastically need reformed, there’s too much shit that’s different state to state, and waaaaaay too much of our current system relies on people doing what they’re supposed to.
It’s just crazy to me we’re almost a decade into trump and Dems aren’t desperately trying to shore up all these loopholes.
