Organizers: Hundreds of GOP delegates on anti-Trump call #DonaldTrump

I seem to recall that this was well known before the 70's.  We were taught in school that even though a delegate was "bound" by the state that they could vote their conscience.  (of course that is relying on a very old memory!!)

Exactly.  If there is one shining diamond that's coming out of this piece of coal election, is that it's forcing people who are old enough to brush up on their Civics lessons and, for those not, to learn about how our political process works for the first time. 

If they don't like what they are discovering they can work to change it.

Anytime you are compelling anyone to vote "by law" then that is a very dangerous position IMO, and completely contrary to the ideas of our Republic. Unless you think that passing a law forcing people to vote Democrat would be a good idea.

Several people have been trying to get this point across to no avail.

When they wear an orange helmet, it covers their ears and thus no receptors are open to ordinary logic.
