Irrespective of the opinion you may have about faithless electors, who would ever think it was a good idea to put one of the most important jobs in the country in the hands of someone who doesn't have any experience in life?
 
Heck, they can't even drink! You certainly need liquid courage to vote for one of those two!
 
Please note that these electors don't want to vote for either candidate, but electors should be made up of people at least as old as you have to be to be president, IMO.

I agree. I was surprised a 19 yr was an elector. Now that teen is going to change their vote. Crazy. 4951

Who selects the Electors?Choosing each state's Electors is a two-part process. First, the political parties in each state choose slates of potential Electors sometime before the general election. Second, on Election Day, the voters in each state select their state's Electors by casting their ballots for President.The first part of the process is controlled by the political parties in each state and varies from state to state. Generally, the parties either nominate slates of potential Electors at their state party conventions or they chose them by a vote of the party's central committee. This happens in each state for each party by whatever rules the state party and (sometimes) the national party have for the process. This first part of the process results in each Presidential candidate having their own unique slate of potential Electors.Political parties often choose Electors for the slate to recognize their service and dedication to that political party. They may be state elected officials, state party leaders, or people in the state who have a personal or political affiliation with their party's Presidential candidate. (For specific information about how slates of potential Electors are chosen, contact the political parties in each state.)https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/electors.html 4951
