It certainly violates the original intent, but I don't know if it violates the Constitution because states have a lot of leeway in how they appoint their electors.

Would be a tough argument to make on its own. Article 2, Sec. 1:
quote:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

It's not about "violation" on the individual level. It's about the Constitution and the vast power to states granted therein.
