Nor wait until after the results then scream "no fair". Remember how petty many thought Trump was when he stated he might not agree with the results of the election?
Well, based on his statements in the past he doesn't agree with the results of this election, still.
In all seriousness, though, I advocate for change from the EC because I find it antiquated. I don't think this result should be changed, it happened, it was the law, end of story. I say I have no problem with the electors doing something ethically because, in truth, we don't directly elect the POTUS in the country. We elect electors to make that decision for us. If they choose to do whatever, that is their choice. I am not advocating for it though because it would be a very bad move. The way people have come to expect the process to work should be carried out.
