"A federal appeals court ruled late Tuesday that presidential electors who cast the actual ballots for president and vice president are free to vote as they wish and cannot be required to follow the results of the popular vote in their states.
The decision could give a single elector the power to decide the outcome of a presidential election — if the popular vote results in an apparent Electoral College tie."

Now I'm no legal Eagle, but if the elector can just vote how they want anyway they feel and ignore what their state/district chooses....
What's the point of even continuing to have the electoral college?
