Ignoring the kneejerk from the Dems and leftists, this was the best decision. I am against faithless electors in general and believe they should be fined no matter the state.

If you're going to fine them (giving the implication that faithless votes are wrong), why not invalidate faithless votes altogether?

That would also be a good idea if implementable. Would it be done at the state or federal level, though?

I think the best way to eliminate faithless electors would be to eliminate the people factor and just use straight numbers. Not sure how unpledged electors would work though.

     The people factor really has no benefit. It's led to this desperate Hail Mary of trying to intimidate electors, but it has never actually made a difference.
