These people could be State-elected officials, party leaders, or of personal or political affiliation with the Presidential candidate. 

On voting day, the vote for the electoral college is determined by the winning candidate in each state. this is true for every state except for Nebraska and Maine, in these states the state winner receives two electoral votes and the winner of each congressional district receives one electoral vote.

of the election. In 2008, a registration drive by the community organizing 

group ACORN produced an estimated 400,000 incorrect, duplicated or 

fraudulent submissions with false signatures. Someone who has been

caught fraudulently voting may be charged a fine of $300-$500 and one to

two years in prison.
