    Technically, we don’t elect the president. We elect the electors who elect the president. Those electors are required to swear an oath, under 5 USC §3331.

    Any elector who intends to vote for Trump is giving “aid or comfort” to a known insurrectionist, which disqualifies them from serving as an elector. They can only be an elector until they try to cast a vote for insurrectionist Trump.
