text: Although there are many pro's, there are also just a few con's. A large con that should be avoided is what source 2 calls,"the disaster factor." The legislature is responsible for picking the electors and they have all therights to defy what the people want. A clear example of this would be as stated in source 2,"Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislaturenearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy". Should the legislature had been able to pull that off, it could have changed the vote and stopped Kennedy from being president. But seeing as segregation isn't as big of an issue in the U.S, this isn't as prone to happen.
