The correct answer is c. Electors are not legally bound to cast votes for the state's winning candidate.In the United States, the Electoral College system is used to elect the President. Each state is allocated a certain number of electors based on its population. The candidate who wins the popular vote in a state typically receives all of that state's electoral votes. However, electors are not legally bound to cast their votes for the candidate who won the popular vote in their state. This means that an elector could theoretically vote for a different candidate, which some consider to be a flaw in the system.
