Electoral College members not bound by popular vote, court rules

A state may not direct the votes of electors.

Expect another court to immediately rule the exact opposite. It will be a matter of days, not weeks.

Electors have never been bound to anything...One Texas elector cast his vote for Ron Paul last time around.

That's exactly what I thought. It's usually the only way to get SCOTUS cert.

I've had a problem with this for a very long time. And with the passing of the national law in Colorado, this nullifies that as well. The National EC popular vote is just plain stupid and takes away the power that the smaller states have. Which means, if a Presidential Candidate wants to win, they only have to carry 5 states and they automatically win. The EC person did not want to vote for Trump but scratched out one and entered in a writein name which should be his or her right.

Doesn't the challenge by certain states support the reasoning behind your Founding Father instituting the E.C in the first place?

You left the British Monarchy for a reason

This is a bad ruling and I hope it gets overturned.

When the people of a state cast their ballots for president they should with the knowledge that the electors for their state will abide by the election results.

Democrats are the biggest election cheaters since Xi. They can't win elections without cheating

Sure seems to be the case. Look at the vote harvesting they were doing in California. Illegal everywhere but there.

The electoral college should as it normally has done vote the state popular vote.

Vlad rhymes with scab and scab is synonymous with Hillary. Any questions?

 

[JGalt]

So that pretty much means the popular vote is no longer relevant and if I vote for Joe Biden ten times, he'll still lose?

Vlad is gonna give the Republicans 5 more Senate seats and 100 more in the House.

It'll be YUGE!

 

[Stormy Daniels]

The ruling is correct. The Electoral College is a federal institution. States have no power to dictate an elector's voting behavior.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

No, it means only a handful of pre-selected people vote on the president.

The ruling is wrong.

It's not democrats who do all they can to prevent people from voting.

There is no credible evidence of any democrat cheating.

republicans did work with russians to win the 2016 election. republicans did use stollen documents in the 2016 election.
