I'm more interested in establishing a rule set that the EC electorates MUST vote for the candidate they were nominated and elected to represent. Several states do not have this provision built into their systems for chosing EC electorates. Kind of annoying ...
Moreover, I always understood the EC system to be a means that the founding fathers used to buffer the common man out of politics. We see this same struggle between Jeffersonian and John Adams policy making in the US' earlier years. Cooler minds prevail sort of mentality ...
Kind of a "we'll vote for electorates to gather and discuss presidential candidates (mini-campaigns) then have a vote among the elite" sorta thing.
That's how I learned it though. Could be wrong.
