What is a special group made up of presidential electors?

This group is called the Electoral College. It is a group of people from each state who decide whom to vote for based on the popular vote from the state they represent. It was designed by the Founding Fathers to mitigate the possibly detrimental effects of lack of education and literacy. With this system, the majority vote decides the votes of the members of the Electoral College. We do not have direct election of the president, although we do have direct election of senators. Here is an example: I live in Texas. I may vote Democrat, but the majority of the people in my state vote Republican. Therefore, the members of the electoral college representing Texas will vote Republican. My vote does not count because we do not have popular election of presidents. Many people feel that this practice needs to be retired because of the proliferation of information thanks to increased education and the media.

Which state does not ask its people to vote on constitutional amendments?

Constitutional amendments must be ratified by the votes of 3/4 of the State Legislatures. There is no requirement for a plebiscite, or vote of the people. Each State Legislature can, if it chooses, base its decision on a popular vote, but I'm not aware that any do.


What is republican state?

In U.S. Politics, a "Republican State" could mean a state in which the population is primarily of the Republican Party, or a state who's Electorates in the Electoral College system typically vote for Republican Party presidential candidates. In general, however, a Republican state could mean a government that is a "Republic," which means that specific rules may be in place, such as in a Constitution, that protect people, including minorities, from "angry mobs" of majority voters.
