    Something I’ve wondered about this:

    Is there any way to enforce this? Like say 80 more votes were pledged. An election happens and a bunch of states vote hard in the other direction from the (should be) winner. How do those states get forced to follow through and give the electoral votes?

    … like I don’t believe politician’s words here. What binds the state to give its votes here? What happens if they just decide not to?
