This Paper will analyze why the Framers allowed state legislatures the latitude to directly choose Presidential Electors, why this approach was ultimately abandoned in favor of popular election of Electors in every state, the potential benefits of returning to direct legislative choice of Electors, and the corresponding effect this method might have on the process of nominating candidates, electing Presidents, and the Presidency itself.	cache/concept-282.pdf	txt/concept-282.txt
