text: Indefensible Electoral College article it also says that "In the same vein faithless electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please." That doesn't seem right at all, if a canidate has the most popular vote they should be elected president since he is obviously the the one the voters want as their president. It shouldn't be up to the electors to just pick anyone they want just because they have the power to do so.
