It is unlikely that any of the campaign advertisements for the Kerry-Edwards or the Bush-Cheney tickets ever mentioned the names of people like Warren Erdman. But Warren Erdman is one of the people Missourians are voting for on Election Day – not President Bush or Vide President Cheney. Erdman is a Kansas City businessman who is a Republican presidential elector. He’s not sure people are clear that their vote is an indirect one. Each political party has named a slate of presidential electors. Electors from the party that gets the most votes for President will meet in Jefferson City on December 13th, the same day electors meet in other states. It’s then that the electors will cast the ballots that actually pick a President.
