Read carefully here. The Constitution does NOT mandate that EC delegates by selected by a vote or election
perhaps you missed this part
quote:
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."
This isnt the COUNTING of the electors, this is in specific reference to the said choosing of electors. And it specifically says they will choose by votes, and its mandated to do so on the same day
Which then calls into question the ability to mail in ballots, or vote early in presidential elections

Your quote governs the States' appointment of their electors and the votes cast by said electors.
Nothing in that prevents early or mail-in voting.

quote:Yes, Congress gets to pick the date on which each State will "chuse" its Electors. On that day, the States might "chuse" them by any method dictated by the legislature of the given state, be it vote of the populace, vote of the legislature, appointment by the governor, or the roll of a set of D&D dice.

That's the vote of the ECs
It says nothing about how those EC slots are determined

Statutory analysis is now on the long list of things you've proven you shouldn't attempt. We'll slot it right under "making up stories bout driving in Florida"
