SCOTUS already upheld laws that bind electors. Morons.
Why not start a movement to get Clinton electors to switch their votes to Trump? Bombard them with Clinton’s lawbreaking and corruption.
it won’t work, but the the trench-warfare and stalemate will simply force the left to abandon this battlefield.
they want the ISSUE not the solution.
the left wants to claim they were denied via the “rigged right wing fascist courts maaaaannnnnn.”
Their lawyers and the clients should be sanctioned for frivolous lawsuits.

Laws?
It is for our benefit that the brainworks of the farm eat all the apples, drink all the milk/whiskey, and sleep in beds, WIF SHEETS!

Ray v. Blair, 343 U.S. 214 (1952)
They upheld binding party delegates at the convention. I'm not aware of any such decision regarding electors.
It's not sufficient to sanction electors for breaking state law. Fines, jail time, mean nothing.
What is required is to substitute the correct vote for the faithless elector's vote, unless his vote was cast responsibly (e.g., Trump 1 crashes with Mike on board, who should be President? Ryan? or who?).
Actually, what is needed is to abolish the electors and move to a mechanical electoral college, as I outline in #218. And, obviously, succession rules during the period between election and inauguration should be defined.
