Sorry, I conflated your post with another one. The last paragraph is the relevant one.

For me, it comes down to the principle that a person's vote is his own franchise, and no law can compel him to give up his vote to the state. The Constitution says that Electors meet to vote, not meet to pass along the state's mandate.

Thank you.

Because of the actual wording of the 10th amendment, the States have the power to define the role of the Electors. If a State gives Electors the power to vote for someone other than the nominee they were representing in the election, then voters should understand their vote might undermined by a switcher.

A State that allows that is legalizing fraud, but voters should know that. If they don’t, then they are voting in ignorance.

I hope the USSC overturns this poor decision.
