Molly,
    I had heard too, many times this season, that electors are bound to vote
the way they were elected to, whether it be legally bound or pledge bound,
but that whether they are bound one way or the other, there is no legal
recourse if they do not vote the way they are supposed to  -  - no
prosecution, penalties, etc.

Anybody have any more information to either prove me wrong, or fill in?

                Jill
