text: There was also the 2000 fiasco that was the biggest election crisis in a century, and the system allows for much worse, according to "The Indefensible Electoral College:Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong." There have been a few occasions where "faithless" electors have refused to vote for their party's candidate and casted the deciding vote for whomever they pleased. Oh, and what happens if a state sends two state electors to Congress? According to "The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" it happened it Hawii in 1960. Luckily, Vice President Richar Nixon, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so "without establishing a precedent." But who's to say it won't happen again?
