Faithless electors, members of the United States Electoral College who vote differently than their state’s voter, are rare but not unheard of. The 2016 United States presidential election saw the highest number in modern history, highlighting a structural gap between voter intent and final electoral outcomes.
Today, many states are moving toward laws that remove or replace faithless electors, ensuring electoral votes reflect the will of the public. Strengthening these systems reduces uncertainty, prevents potential manipulation, and reinforces trust that election results are carried through accurately. TAN advocates for removal and replacement of faithless voters.
