Does the electoral college have to vote for Donald Trump?
What happens if an elector doesn't vote for the candidate they are supposed to?
It is rare for an elector to go against the popular vote in their state, but if an elector did decide to vote for a different candidate, they are known as a "faithless elector." In some states, faithless electors may face legal penalties or fines, but their vote will still count and can potentially affect the outcome of the election.
