Did any electoral college delgates ever reversed their votes?

There have been a few Electors in the electoral college that did not vote in accordance with the popular vote in the state that they represent. The Electors are elected by popular vote in each state and each candidate for elector swears in advance whom he will vote for. If the Elector ultimately votes for a candidate other than the candidate the Elector swears in advance that he will vote for, the Elector is referred to as a "faithless elector". Due to faithless voting in the 2016 electoral college, electoral votes were cast for Colin Powell 3, Bernie Sanders 1, Ron Paul 1, John Kasich 1, and Faith Spotted Eagle 1.


The does not require a to vote for the candidate favored by the vote in his state?

The Electoral College. The President of the United States is not elected by the voters of the USA. The President is elected by members of the Electoral College. When we vote for President, we're actually voting for ELECTORS, who are pledged to vote for the winner of the nominee. However, there is no requirement that an elector must vote for the person he's supposed to represent. People who do not vote they way they are supposed to are called "faithless electors", and there have been several dozen over the 230-year history of the USA. Fortunately, no "faithless elector" has ever made the difference in the results of the election.
