...everything is botched and can see it coming a mile away.

hopefully supreme court squashes this shit



Supreme Court to hear 'faithless elector' case ahead of 2020 presidential election -

The case arises from the 2016 presidential election. Three Hillary Clinton electors in Washington state and one in Colorado refused to vote for her despite her popular vote win in both states. In so doing, they hoped to persuade enough electors in states won by Donald Trump to choose someone else and deny Trump the presidency.

So basically what the cons tried to do with their political maneuvers from 2008 to 2016.

Gotta love hypocrisy.

you get the gist of the article or thread sam?

the losses for hrc were to get the ball rolling for all the others...nothing to lose by changing the vote, as they already lost


another harvard article wants make states out of a bunch of DC liberal counties so they will never lose again and always control all the branches

I wonder what the court will do. I would guess there is a Federalism issue here if the Supremes decide.

I imagine it should be kicked back down to the state legislatures. Each state currently decides how their electoral votes are applied. Most stares are “winner take all”, but I think there are two “proportional allocation” states.

The state legislatures should fix the issue for their state.

In my humble opinion, “faithless electors” should not exist. I would say, When you accept the role as an elector, you bind yourself to the outcome of the vote in you’re state. You do not get to exercise free will.
You are the executioner. You don’t get to decide if the person is guilty or not guilty, if the trial was fair.... or if the sentence is just. Your only job is to pull the switch.
