You can thank faithless electors for giving the first electoral vote to a woman in 1972 and for giving the first electoral vote to (two!) natives in 2016.

On another note, does this void state-created penalties on faithless electors?

Actually, that happened in 1928.  Charles Curtis, Herbert Hoover's VP was a Native American, a registered member of the Kaw tribe.


Well that's embarassing
