Federal Court Rules Electoral College Members Not Bound by Popular Vote

Colorado recently joined over a dozen other states when they entered the NPV, however in order for the NPV to go into effect, the amount of electoral votes has to surpass 270, the same amount of EC votes it takes to elect the US president.

So far only 15 states and the District of Columbia have signed up, totaling 196 EC votes.

Tuesday’s federal ruling could actually destroy the National Popular Vote Pact because it mandates that electors ignore the popular vote in their states and make their own decisions.

Sounds as though it will go to SCOTUS.

And also sounds as though voters in the states could get together and form their own legal fight against it.

***Federal Court Rules Electoral College Members Not Bound by Popular Vote***

The 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled Tuesday that the presidential electors can cast their vote for the presidential candidate of their own choice and are not bound by the popular vote in their states

The end of our Constitutional Republic is looming. Thomas Jefferson warned that a tyranny of the judges would be a possible downfall of the result of their efforts. Hopefully SCOTUS will restore the integrity of elections.

If not, it will be up to the citizens of the United States to determine what sort of society they wish to live in and raise a family.
