I read somewhere that Eritrea (the North Korea of Africa) is the only other country that has this policy.
I’m not ready to face the light

You say many states outlaw faithless electors, but a shocking amount, 34 out of 50 states, still count the vote, with only 2 of those 34 actually penalizing it. The rest of the States have proper protections against such a thing from occurring, but faithless electors doing some real damage to an election is still a possibility. Will it happen this time around? Probably not. They’ve never really come close to changing the outcome of an election, but if they worked together, they could!
It is worth noting that the 2016 election had 10 faithless electors and was the first election in over 100 years in which multiple electors worked to alter the result of the election.

I’m more worried there will be a record high amount of faithless electors this election season.
Sadly they have a red hat
