congress cannot solve this problem because congress cannot appoint an elector for a state. even if congress could reject a ballot -- if it found out the elector had been bribed, the state has lost that vote and cannot get it back. congress cannot appoint a new elector for the state. just rejecting the ballot might alter the outcome of the presidential election. the idea that congress can solve this after-the-fact is not true and it ignores the constitutional delegation of power to the states. turning to your other points, an example i think helps illustrate why there is no constitutional difference between failing to show up and keep promise. imagine two electors who both do not like the nominee who eventually wins their party's nomination and wins the general election. one says, i'm not going to show up for the meeting because i don't like this person. the other says i'm going to show up and vote for someone else. both have violated conditions of their appointment and can be removed and replaced by the state and there is no constitutional problem with that. justice breyer:
