Georgia electors [View all]

Tidbit on electors. Yes they can be faithless.

But is an elector required to vote the same way as his or her state’s electorate? That depends on the state, but in Georgia, the answer is no.

Georgia’s electors in the Electoral College, according to the Secretary of State’s Office, are guided by only one state law: "The presidential electors chosen pursuant to Code Section 21-2-10 shall assemble at the seat of government of this state at 12:00 Noon of the day which is, or may be, directed by the Congress of the United States and shall then and there perform the duties required of them by the Constitution and laws of the United States.”
