“Under the winner-take-all system, U.S. citizens have been denied their constitutional right to an equal vote in Presidential elections,” Boies said in a statement.

Their constitutional right? If that were true, you should be able to find a clause in the actual Constitution to support Bois' claim. I have never seen such a clause.

In fact, the constitution doesn't even have a clause requiring the Electors to vote according to the vote results in their State. Any such requirement would be found in State legislation, so it would not be a constitution right.

It seems Dims have a fantasy dream and then write it up as lawsuit.

More than that - the Constitution does not require ANYBODY to vote for President (except the 538 Electors), and any State that wishes can dispense with popular voting at any time.

The State Legislature can appoint electors using any method they choose.

This would include their fantasy of giving the vote to 16 year olds.
They don’t even know what they’re going to be doing this weekend, let alone what it takes to run a country.
