17. Thanks for the article - does the EC meet and deliberate and then vote or just remotely vote?...

...serious question. Anyone know the process. If they deliberate, then maybe some can change. BUT from all I've read, the electors are aligned along parties and strictly vote that way. I've learned in this election our democracy has some serious flaws that need to get fixed.
