My wife is watching Catfish and some girl thinks she’s been talking to and in a relationship with Chris Brown for 3 years via Facebook.
This isn’t political at all, I just find it mind boggling and hilarious.

They do not have to do what the state vote carries. They only currently do that out of long tradition. Every election there are about a dozen faithless electors that vote outside their state results. The federal appeals court ruled just 2 weeks ago that states cannot punish electors for their votes because the constitution outlays no rules for voting.

Electors are free to choose whoever they want which is why we even have the EC. The founders thought the common man was to stupid and uneducated and the EC was a way to keep a complete moron like Trump from becoming President.
Alexander Hamilton described the Founding Fathers' view of how electors would be chosen:
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 [tasks]
originally electors were chosen district by district instead of statewide. You didn't vote for president, you voted for electors. And each individual elector made his choice for President. But then politicians didn't like not having absolute control so they slowly reformed it to statewide. People like Hamilton and Madison were not happy with the changes but it was their fault for leaving the constitution so vague. They tried to push an amendment to fix this but then Hamilton died and we got stuck with our dumbed down version of the EC we have now. Now the political parties choose the electors. Your vote for president is 100% symbolic, you don't even vote for your elector anymore.
It's amazing how uneducated Americans like you are on the system that chooses our leaders.

That show can not be real. I saw one where the people lived in the same town and never met. Did not end well.
You can vote absentee in KY in this scenario. Just Bc you move to another country and establish residency or even citizenship does not strip you of your rights. If you earn income as an American in any country you have to claim that income in the USA. Idk what your ultimate point is Bc you make zero sense
Do you know how electors are chosen? The answer is an obvious no if you think they can do whatever they want.
Wrong again. And as far as not knowing the system that chooses the President, it is why you and other dumbasses still claim that Hillary won the popular vote.
The EC worked exactly as it was supposed to work and that's why we don't have an incompetent, murderous, child molesting, traitor as our bitch in chief.
False.
"The electoral college system is established in the Constitution. When voters cast a ballot for president, they are actually choosing members of the electoral college, called electors, who are pledged to that presidential candidate. The electors then choose the president. Electors almost always vote for the popular vote winner, and some states have laws requiring them to do so."
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. At the same time, this also means that there are 21 states in the union that have no requirements of, or legal control over, their electors. Therefore, despite the outcome of a state’s popular vote, the state’s electors are ultimately free to vote in whatever manner they please, including an abstention, with no legal repercussions. The states with legal control over their electors are the following 29 and D.C.:
Alabama (Code of Ala. §17-19-2)
Alaska (Alaska Stat. §15.30.090)
California (Election Code §6906)
Colorado (CRS §1-4-304)
Connecticut (Conn. Gen. Stat. §9-176)
Delaware (15 Del C §4303)
District of Columbia (§1-1312(g))
Florida (Fla. Stat. §103.021(1))
Hawaii (HRS §14-28)
Maine (21-A MRS §805)
Maryland (Md Ann Code art 33, §8-505)
Massachusetts (MGL, ch. 53, §8)
Michigan (MCL §168.47)
Mississippi (Miss Code Ann §23-15-785)
Montana (MCA §13-25-104)
Nebraska (§32-714)
Nevada (NRS §298.050)
New Mexico (NM Stat Ann §1-15-9)
North Carolina (NC Gen Stat §163-212)
Ohio (ORC Ann §3505.40)
Oklahoma (26 Okl St §10-102)
Oregon (ORS §248.355)
South Carolina (SC Code Ann §7-19-80)
Tennessee (Tenn Code Ann §2-15-104(c))
Utah (Utah Code Ann §20A-13-304)
Vermont (17 VSA §2732)
Virginia (§24.2-203)
Washington (RCW §29.71.020)
Wisconsin (Wis Stat §7.75)
Wyoming (Wyo Stat §22-19-108)
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.
Once again you are proven mostly wrong. What did you say about some Americans not knowing their electoral system. Know what you are talking completely about before posting.
So if a guy threatens to kill his neighbor, and the cops fail to show up to investigate, then that guy goes on to kill people, how much money does that city owe the victims?
What the shit is going on here. “Uh, his house didn’t show up on our gps...uhhh”. They didn’t even talk to the neighbor...or the other neighbor. His house would be somewhere close to them. That is a bs lie. They let this whacko commit mass murder.

The above post is Mash trying to cover his tracks...
I really believe @Mashburned is a high level law enforcement officer in Texas. This woman in Odessa called police about being threatened by a neighbor with a rifle and police couldn't find his HOUSE...
Yet in the same state of Texas when some dirty b-tch licked some Blue Bell ice cream and then put it back on the shelf...authorities spent two weeks going through surveillance to pinpoint which Wal-Mart in the gawd damn state of Texas the Blue Bell licking took place at.

If I was law enforcement in Texas you better believe Blue Bell would have never been slandered and forced to shut down temporarily. The haters of Blue Bell would have faced great consequences.

Read this dipshit.
“The text of the Constitution makes clear that states do not have the constitutional authority to interfere with presidential electors who exercise their constitutional right to vote for the president and vice president candidates of their choice,”
This ruling invalidates all state laws trying to control electoral votes. And those state laws were never enforced anyway or were just small fines. Electors can vote for whoever they want, always have been able to. In 2016 there were 10 faithless votes. Conservatives should be 100% against the current system for the EC. as originalists it goes against everything you proclaim to believe in. Political parties should not be choosing electors, that is supposed to be the American voters responsibility.
65,853,514>62,984,828. Just saying. Now here's where you post the EC numbers.
I read it but, what you do not understand is that if enough of the states that require it do not agree with that ruling they can refuse to comply and there is nothing the federal government can do about it. Plus, it was a split vote probably to be overturned in the future.
In n out Burger support Trump? All I need to know.
The Clintons know where he is...and whether he is alive or shot himself in the back of the head.
You are wrong; read what I wrote initially. If you are a resident of Puerto Rico, you are unable to vote in KY. You cannot have residency in two areas (states/territories) of the US. What you are describing is an American citizen living in a foreign country and voting as an absentee .

We are handing control of Afghanistan to the Taliban. WINNING! Bet that was the grand plan when the war started 18 years ago

I think there is probably way more feces in the streets of Crapifornia than Texas so if any state is the butt hole of the US it is Crapifornia where you belong.
False, CNN nuff said.
That would be every liberals woman on this site (Well, some would have men). Would love to see them launched.
You couldn't make it in Texas so you are very wise staying in mama's basement. Good for you.
He can't make it anywhere which is why he is in his mothers basement.
Blue Bell was just had. Pralines n Cream. Absolutely divine.
Lolololol we still have losers still talking about popular vote. And at least 3-5 million were fraudulent.
Do you know what it takes to become a Puerto Rican resident? Unless you intentionally go through several steps you’re not just going to become a resident Bc you live there. I promise you though becoming a Puerto Rican resident is not going to cause you to give up voting rights. That would be challenged in the courts and a loser.
What? Are you saying that I can't just pack my bags and move to Puerto Rico?
