Recent history has reminded us that the Electoral College, not individual voters, elects the president of the United States. But who decides how presidential electors are selected? With the exception of Maine and Nebraska, each state designates its electors on a winner-take-all basis. The states, however, are not required to follow this process or any other. In fact, the states are not constitutionally mandated to permit their own citizens to vote for president of the United States. Imagine a presidential election in which you had no right or opportunity to vote.
