The major parties have historically faced pressure to diversify their candidate pools due to changing societal attitudes and demographic shifts. Nominating a woman or a member of a minority group can help the party appeal to a broader electorate, particularly among younger voters who prioritize representation and inclusivity. Additionally, such nominations can signal progress and responsiveness to social justice movements, enhancing the party's image and relevance in a rapidly evolving political landscape.

Is the member of the electoral college required to vote for the presidential candidate representing their political party?

In a strong sense, yes, the elector is required to do his duty if not by law by his own sense of honor and integrity and moral suasion. In some states the elector can be punished for violating his vow to support a certain candidate. However, it is extremely rare for a person who has been a long-time party member and has given years and much of his own money to a cause and a candidate to even consider voting for the opposition candidate.
