[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To answer question 7, the best answer for describing a faithless elector is "an elector who fails to vote."

A faithless elector refers to a member of the Electoral College who, contrary to their pledged vote, chooses not to vote for the candidate they are supposed to vote for. Instead, they vote for a different candidate or abstain from voting altogether. Such electors go against the expectations and commitments of their position.

To answer question 8, the correct answer is "Senate."

The Electoral College vote is counted by the United States Senate. After the electors cast their votes, the sealed certificates of the Electoral College results are sent to the President of the Senate (who is the Vice President). On January 6th, after the counting is verified, the Vice President opens the certificates and Electoral College votes are officially counted in a joint session of Congress. The Senate plays a significant role in this process, along with the House of Representatives.
