Constitution requirements for Electors - BOOM!
I was just reading the constitutional rules for states selecting the electors in the electoral college. There are only two.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution states that electors can’t be a member of Congress, or hold federal office, but left it up to individual states to figure out everything else. According to the 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War,electors also can’t be anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to its enemies.”
Typically, a slate of electors are selected at national conventions of each party. Either way, political parties usually choose people whom they want to reward for their service to and support of the party. Electors can be elected officials or party leaders in the state, or people who have some kind of personal or professional connection with the party’s candidate.
How many Democrat electors do you think did NOT participate in this attempted overthrow? Can their votes be disqualified?
BOOM!
