Chiafalo is now at the heart of one of two closely watched cases being argued before the Supreme Court on Wednesday that will determine whether electors have the constitutional right to exercise independence and defy the will of the voters - a question touching upon the integrity of American democracy.
“They this would start a civil war, that I’d be the first one on the pike, sexual assault threats against my family,” Chiafalo said in an interview. “At the end of the day I believed I was doing the right thing for us and standing up for the Constitution.” Baca, a high school teacher now living in Las Vegas, blamed the scheme’s failure on fear of potential violence and other unknowns if their plan succeeded.
“These 538 individuals are empowered to implement the people’s will, not to thwart it,” Ferguson said in court papers. A swing of 10 electors - the number of faithless electors in 2016 - would have changed the outcome of five of the 58 prior U.S. presidential elections.
LOL! Trump didn't pose any clear and present danger to the presidency though. All he did is manage to win an election like Obama did during the previous cycle. That just resulted in a different crowd screaming 'the sky is falling!'
So... eliminate electors and instill national popular vote? The separation of powers and division of government to ensure equal representation is still in tact, because Congress, not the presidency, was created for that purpose. The Executive branch is supposed to represent all
А вы с этим согласны?
Waw
Fake democracy! lost popular vote by millions but won presidency always, fix it!
The electoral college is the only thing they have right in broken Wash DC! Otherwise four states will elect the president every time!
