Who Are the Electors? - They Might Be Giants
Composed by：They Might Be Giants
Who are the electors
They're the ones who elect
The ones that you vote for
Who will vote in your stead
You single your choice you give them your trust
But it's up to them and not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors
In article 2 of the US constitution
The framers spelled out how the chief executive is chosen
They laid out the rules for elections
They wanted a system
That would be free from corruption
The winner would be chosen by an unaligned delegation
Without partisan affiliation
They're called the electors
Because they elect
They're like our protectors
Adding one extra step
You single your choice you give them your trust
But it's up to them and not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors
Every state gets a number of electors
That's exactly the same
As the number of senators and representatives they claim
Plus three added on for DC
They are the electors of five hundred and thirty eight
They are the electors giving smaller states extra weight
You single your choice you give them your trust
But it's up to them and not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors
