Get this, if you lived in Texas, and you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pleadged on him. Don't forget that there is the off chance that those electors won the stateside election, they would go to Congress and John Kerry would get 34 electoral votes but, who are they electors? I'll tell you, they can be anyone not holding public office.
