Yes - there is! It’s the whole point of the winner take all electoral system.

The presidency is ultimately decided by “the states”. It’s not a direct democracy.

Your vote determines how the state votes and the state sends its political representatives (usually nominated by the winners) to cast the votes but those representatives can still choose to vote their conscience. They almost always won’t because they’re first and foremost political operatives.

This is a GOOD ruling and smashes the Dems attempt to enact a direct democracy by fiat.

I see what you’re saying, and I hope it works that way in practice.

I really do.

Political betrayal is not going to go over well.
