They’re still appointed representatives of the state, though. States vote in the election, per the Constitution.
I’d love to ditch the EC, but it does exist, and the electors are representatives. This isn’t complicated at all, and I’m not sure why this is personal to you.
They do it when they’re in the role.
Why are you so passionate about something so simple? This entire conversation is confusing to me, in terms of intent.
And what about the other 1200+ days they aren’t in the role for each 1 they are in it?
Why are you so passionate in misusing the term representative?
Representatives are more than just vote carriers.
Indeed they often are. They are also advocates, in general.
However
Electors are chosen each cycle and are different people.
So they’re just vote carriers. Unlike the actual representatives on this hill who spend most of the year actually governing for you.
Cool. Glad you cleared up that electors are useless and not really representatives.

No one voted for them, they are not representatives. They are vote carriers.
Sullying the actual work representatives do by calling glorified vote carriers the same thing is an insult to the word representative.
They represent the state in the actual election of the President. “Faithless electors” are a thing, at least as a theoretical concept.
It’s not insulting to use words for what they mean. I am so very confused by your underlying hostility here.
I’m so very confused why you continue to argue your bullshit side.
You have a great day man. This is going nowhere.
