Electoral Day
Presidential electors vote today, it's official in January. A N.Y. elector supports a popular vote system. A NYT piece supports a "buddy system" to promote district voting in a way that avoids unilateral disarmament. Indiana, a surprise Obama pick, shows how electors are no longer elitist. And, though I think they can (see Art. II, as to "manner" of selection), Indiana doesn't require i.d. for them.
