ELECTORS NEEDED

Does filling out this form to be a Presidential elector for Frank mean that I am voting for Frank in the November presidential election?

No. What signing this form actually means is that the signer is declaring herself a write-in candidate for the office of Presidential Elector. Technically, in the November presidential election, voters are actually voting for Presidential Electors, not the actual presidential candidate. When someone casts a vote for Obama in California, for example, they are technically casting a vote for each of his 55 electors. And if someone writes-in "Frank Moore" for President on the California ballot in November, they are technically writing-in a vote for each of his Electors. So by filling out and signing this form, you are really declaring yourself a candidate for Presidential Elector. As a candidate for Presidential Elector for Frank, you are pledged to place your "electoral vote" in the Electoral College for Frank only in the event that he wins the popular vote in California. But just like Frank can vote for whomever he wants to in November, so can you. Your candidacy for Presidential Elector does not preclude that. Your role in filling out this form is as a candidate, not a voter.

Is a presidential elector different than a presidential candidate?

Yes. A presidential elector is pledged to a specific presidential candidate. By filling out the form to be a presidential elector, you are saying that you will place your electoral vote for the candidate you are pledged to. If the presidential candidate you are pledged to does not win the majority of the popular votes in your state, this never comes into play.
