So I just vassalize the electors and even though I am not part of the empire, I am not in the empire, I can still become emperor and then add my provinces?!?!?!
Yes you will suffer a -50 penalty for being not in the empire but the vassal/pu bonus makes up for it. I do not know if you inherit the electorship if you inherit an elector outside of the empire
