I'll nitpick a little with that, because some electors are bound by law to vote a certain way. It depends on the state. It made it to the Supreme Court recently, who affirmed that, indeed, states can require electors to vote a certain way and can replace them if they turn faithless. That said, I have no idea how many states have such laws. Otherwise, I agree with you. Hopefully the GA Senate races will have clear winners (or one clear GOP winner) on election night so that there's no obvious incentive for Mitch to keep up his antics. I find that a hard to imagine scenario however, given how close GA appears to be. What a clusterfuck.
