A roulette spin of 7 electors has finally reached the Supreme Court. Who might have won the 2016 Presidential Election seems as questionable as 2000's "hanging chads." Who our electors are and how they represent us is questionable. We know that "Unlike direct democracies, US presidents are not elected by the popular vote of the American people. Instead, they are selected by 538 members of the electoral college - electors as they are known - who are in turn selected by political parties in each state." How much trust does this engender in U.S. voters?
