What change was made in the electoral college system by the twelve amendment?

Prior to the 1804 presidential election, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1804. The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - replaced the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. By June 1804, the states had ratified the amendment in time for the 1804 election.


When electing the president what happens to an elector who votes opposite of whom they pledge to vote for?

There are two sets of electors. One set is Democratic and the other is Republican so before they get to the point of voting they have all ready determined who is voting for whom to prevent the exact thing you ask about. EDIT: There have been 158 instances throughout history of "faithless electors". Of them almost half of them changed their vote because the candidate died prior to them being able to vote, 2 chose not to vote at all and the rest (a little over half) either by accident or choice voted for someone other than who they pledged to vote for. Now if I remember correctly to-date only 24 states have legislation punshing faithless electors that range from fines to misdemeanors. While faithless electors have once postponed the election of a vice-president, they have never changed the outcome of an election to-date.
