10. As long as we don't pick any Bernie bros, we'll be fine

And yes, I'm serious. I recall we had several really left electors in 2016 that couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary even though the state voted for her. Our state parties need to do heavy vetting if this thing is close. We don't need Nina Turner/Cornel West/Susan Sarandon types being in the Electoral College. The electors need to be 100% rock ribbed Biden supporters from day one. None of this bullshit.

NO. We know that individual voters can be manipulated and that ratfucking the EC can and abqtommy Nov 2020 #17

Electors are hand picked by the party. They are the most faithful of faithful party members Statistical Nov 2020 #18
