The Constitution says nothing about what candidate electors should vote for.No they can not violate the protections of the Constitution which specifically protects the states form of Government.Not true. States can allocate their electoral votes any way that they want.That is not undemocratic since it is proportional and based on congressional districts, flipping a State vote from one candidate that won the State to one that LOST is in fact undemocratic and unrepublican both protected and promised to the States BY the Constitution.We are a Republic, not a Democracy. Go and tell Nebraska and Maine that it's "ignoring the constitution" to give some of their electoral votes to the loser.It wont be ignoring the Constitution it is patently Undemocratic to make a States vote go for a person the State did not vote for.Maybe. I guess the Supreme Court could decide to legislate that states cannot determine how to award their own electoral votes. If it ever comes to that, it will be funny to see Gorsuch twist himself into knots trying to justify ignoring the constitution.
