Arguments spanned over two hours with the justices delving into history and discussion ranging from Alexander Hamilton to Frodo Baggins.By the end of arguments, some justices seemed prepared to reject arguments from lawyers for so-called faithless electors and hold that states can bind their vote.The case comes as the election season is heating up and the Electoral College will once again be front and center in an increasingly polarized and volatile political atmosphere.
A $1,000 fine was upheld by the state Supreme Court. The US Constitution, the court held,"grants the states plenary power to direct the manner and mode of appointment of electors to the Electoral College."In Colorado, the legal outcome was different when Micheal Baca voted for Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich instead of Clinton. Baca's vote was rejected and he was removed and replaced with a substitute who voted for Clinton.
The EC also was originally to have the electors vote their individual consciences, instead of as a block. The Electoral College has long since outlived its original purpose and should be DISMANTLED.
If you abolish the EC, you of little knowledge, NYC and California will call a of the shits. And they have the worse picked around. The EC has worked for 200+ years to represent ALL of America. They want to abolish it bc they're losing. Ppl are waking up to the corruption.
Can't trust Trump trash
Good, then let's get rid of this ancient way of voting... There are too many ways for all to be heard. Let's keep it simple. Majority rules per state I suppose, and let each state have 2 sides in the house and Senate ... Too easy. Reform

That sounds unconstitutional

Hydroxychloroquine works and yet you deny it. Hydroxychloroquine cost $37 for 100 tablets. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, 'stands to lose 100 million dollars' on a coronavirus vaccine from Bill Gates. Cost $1000 vaccine.
The Electoral College as originally designed where the voters voted for an Elector, not a candidate, and then the Elector chose the presidential candidate. Faithless electors should be allowed.
The only thing that transpires is that the Dems are for ANYTHING that will make it easier to commit VOTER FRAUD. The rest is hogwash.
Related to if Europeans are Americans or just a problem born inside America!
convict you. You are being a patriot! Just BYPASS_SCOTUS since they will not put country before party (3/3).
again by not having information they should have prior to the election. Whoever has access to Trumps financial info. JUST RELEASE IT TO THE INTERNET/PRESS. What is Trump gonna do? Even if he figures out who did it there isn’t a jury in the country that will (2/3)
The Not-So-Supreme Court will return a bullsh*t decision which will enable Team Trump to drag out past the election, the release of his financial info which may show his alleged; money laundering/loans with Russia & bank fraud. Americans will be disenfranchised (1/3)
WTF?
So much for the separation of church and state.
Fake news
obamagate
Politics and the morals of religion is an oxymoron. Funny how the general public actually believe the phony facade and blasphemy of politicians
“Two justices, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh, worried that if a faithless elector's pledge could not be enforced by the state, chaos might ensue after the election.” So only 1 *actual* justice worried about it. Let’s be honest, a Trump-appointed Justice isn’t a real justice.
I don't know why we have luciferians in our government
The electoral college needs to be thrown out! The popular vote is the true vote of the people, by the people! Period!
Time to end the Electoral College. Time for the popular vote to choose the President!
I who did everyone nomad a Democrat or Republican we are the citizens and people of the United States of America we should be voting to improve our country because we are American citizens I mean just the taxpayers immigrants and welfare recipients not included
Good, make sure people’s votes count
Then the electoral college no longer serves its purpose, and hasn’t for some time. I’m glad we have now codified its obsolescence.
2020 election should be postponed until 2024 because democrats are trying to sabotage the economy for personal gain, just like they are already doing in CA. Lock up all democrats!
China has to be taught a lesson
How about the Supreme Court dump trump and Barr. The 2 most faithless traitors on the planet. realDonaldTrump GOP GOPChairwoman ChiefJustice0 BrettKavanaugh Scotus
That defeats the entire purpose that the founders made the electoral college for.
Good
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They just don't want Trump to win because they same states that helped him win in 2016 will vote for him again and he'll win another 4 years
Fuck the electoral college
This dumb system needs to be abolished
