Question:
Explain 'rogue' or 'faithless' electors.
Author: harry challinorAnswer:
- There are 21 states with no requirement that the electors follow public voting, so some delegates occasionally vote contrary to the wishes of the people - This has happened in the majority of elections since 1960, although it has never changed a result - In 2016, there were 7 rogue delegates - Clinton lost 5 - 3 of those went to Colin Powell, while Sanders and Faith Spotted Eagle received one each
