1. To slime them?

Why?

They weren't part of anything that was done in the election.

2. Why?The Repub electors voted already and so their role has come and gone.

Now we're working on finding out whether the vote should have gone to Kerry and if so the Dem electors will have to vote and we'll have to have a dog fight about which electors will count.

3. but were the electors not Dems and Reps?

[bemis12]

4. The ones that voted

were Reps. That would have to be the sole reason to trash them. If that's good enough for you.......

10. I was just curious, since an article said that theye were rewarded.

I wondered how.

[BoomerSoonerOKU]

11. You mean how

they're picked? Or being rewarded for being electors?

They're selected first based on party affiliation.. Then some are picked by actually running for office/services to the party/etc.

12. In my state

they get $3 plus $.15 a mile for travelling to the capital.

The "reward" is just the honor of haivng been selected an elector.

13. Thanks all for the explanation.
