Consider a situation in which one political party controls the state legislatures of enough states so that their electors -- those the states name as members of the Electoral College -- are more than 270 in number. Now suppose the state houses of those states specifically designate as electors people who will vote for the presidential candidate of their party without regard for the popular vote in their states.
The Electoral College will then select the president of the United States of America even if almost all of the voters in those specific states voted for the candidate of the other major party.
Interesting, nu?
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the prophylactic Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.
