who are the electors - they might be giants lyrics
[pre*chorus]
who are the electors?
they’re the ones who elect
the ones that you vote for
who will vote in your stead
[chorus]
you signal 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
[verse 1]
in article two of the u.s. 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
[bridge]
without partisan affiliation
[pre*chorus]
they’re called the electors
because they elect
they’re like our protectors
adding one extra step
[chorus]
you signal 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
[verse 2]
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 d.c
[pre*chorus]
they are the electors
all five hundred and thirty*eight
they are the electors
giving smaller states extra weight
[chorus]
you signal 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
