text: Along with people feeling as if their vote doesn't matter, there could be a "disaster factor." A disaster factor is when you vote for the candidates electors that then go and vote for the President of the opposite that you wanted. Yes is happens "rarely" but it still has happened. It says in source 2 "back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors withnew electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy." They were going to do this so that the popular vote whould not be counted for Kennedy. People have to keep in mind that if we vote for who we want as the President we are voting for electors that at any point in the election can change their mind and not vote for who you originally voted for. If electors do, do this then we have no control over it. It's like we've been told that our opinion doesn't matter or count in our country that is supposed to be free, we also have rights that prove our voice is allowed to be heard.
