text: The Electors in the Electoral college arnt always innocent. They can lie, cheat, they go behind the backs of the states citizens and not  even vote for who the citizens want. In 1960, segregationists in the lousiana legislature tried to get rid of the democratic electors. They wanted to replace them with people who would oppose John F Kennedy. Sourse 2, number 11 says "In some vein, faithless electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whoever they please..." This means that with an Electoral college, the person you want to vote for may not even get picked cause of lying electors.
