    The U.Southward. Constitution does not dictate how presidential electors are to cast their votes, but, in full general, electors are expected to vote for the winner of the popular vote in their state or the candidates of the party that nominated them to serve as electors. Electors who choose not to vote for the winner of the popular vote or the candidates of the party that nominated them are known every bit "faithless electors." Faithless electors are rare. Betwixt 1900 and 2012, there were only viii known instances of faithless electors.

    Several states accept passed laws against faithless electors and require electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote in their land, for the candidate of the party that nominated them to serve as electors, or in accord with any pledge they may accept been required to brand at the time of their nomination. In states with these types of laws, faithless electors can be fined or replaced, or their votes can be nullified.[five] [six]
