You and BF are right. I lost my mind there for a minute. (That statement may lead you to ask: "had you not already lost it?" Or "you actually have a mind?" In any event, don't ask my wife. She is not an unbiased source, and her judgement is questionable, for obvious reasons)

Did a quick drive by on this thread to see if anyone has posted any links. I had this discussion with a few of my FB friends. And before I post the link It might interest you all to know that until the 17th amendment passed we did not directly elect our Senators, because they represented THE STATE and were elected by the legislatures.

Oh, the 17th amendment has certainly come up in this thread (and in every other thread discussing the EC).
Actually, senators represented their states

Perhaps I should have clarified and said their individual state. I apologize for any confusion.
I read a book about proctology once.
Does a coloring book count?

Seven Democratic electors in CO and WA are threatening to not vote for Hillary to stop Trump.
Wait, what. Just preening narcissists seeking praise for breaking their oath.

I wonder how many folks who are big EC fans right now would still be big fans if faithless electors put Hilary in the white house.
Such an effort would be a very major event. Like... civil war level of ****ing with the electoral process. Even Hillary wouldn't want that.

Put the current POTUS in the White House twice, and I don't recall this EC conversation either time. The last time I do recall, is Bush II.
