New York state electors are not bound by law to vote the majority. They can vote any way they want.

27 states are bound by law or pledge to vote the majority vote.

The Electoral College is what is un-democratic. NY State is not the only state that goes by the Electoral voting system. I think there is only 3 states that do not use it - not sure if that is the right number but, it is a very low number.
I disagree with using the Electoral College. A person can win the popular vote but lose the election.....that is effed up.....that is not a vote of the people, by the people, and for the people.

If we vote for and manage to get her elected Hillary will leave NY and we can vote for a new US Senator. She may select more people from NY for her cabinet and federal agency heads,thus opening more positions in NY. She may provide more funds to NY than other states by way of the many federal agencies that she will be in charge of as president! These are somethings to consider! When you vote your only giving your consent to the electoral official to vote in your place so what's the big deal anyway?

Yeah, what's your point? Majority usually wins anyway, right? In California, Pete McCloskey got a single electoral vote even though Nixon swept the 1972 elections by a landslide and carried the state by a huge amount. Many states' reps vote for the one who carries the states anyway. It has little bearing on the outcome.

Really.... and they are bound by law to vote the majority in exactly how many states??????
No state elector is bound by law to vote the majority.
You're just figuring this out????

Every vote count in the state level and a single vote could change the outcome.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

The electoral college is in every state, not just NY State. It's been that way for centuries. Did you just figure that out?

I don't really agree with them. Even if New York is screwed up, I'll still vote.

Change your legal residence to a borderline state where your vote will actually count.
