> At least one word was found in each of the six source languages (Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, Arabic) corresponding to the proposed gismu.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is Hamilton's argument for having Electors cast the actual ballots for President without necessarily being beholden to how their state voted.
>Hamilton viewed the system as superior to direct popular election. First, he recognized, the "sense of the people should operate in the choice", and would through the election of the electors to the Electoral College. Second, the electors would be:
