A case like that will take four years to wind through the system at a minimum.

And the Constitution puts these decisions firmly in the hands of the states.

"And the Constitution puts these decisions firmly in the hands of the states."

The Constitution puts the method of selecting electors in the hands of the states, but it doesn't say states can dictate what the electors do.

This is annoying stuff. Even though these are Clinton delegates and their votes are insignificant, the system they are a part of seems to puzzle them. That bothers me that they are so poorly educated.

We vote for a candidate for president now and not for an elector to pick a person for president. That is why they are bound to the vote and they no longer have that original freedom that electors appear to have had.
