And your statement contradicts mine exactly how? The slates of electors are free to cast their votes according to their conscience. The fact that they generally vote their party pretty much makes a mockery of the Electoral College being a compromise between a popularly elected president and a congressionally elected president. But the US president is still NOT elected by popular vote, but by the votes of the electors in the states.

No one has tried to claim that the US president is elected by the popular vote. Try pulling your head out and reading comments before you reply to them.
