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
