SCOTUS will have to decide this.

I think the decision is correct. The Framers had a utopian vision of the Electors as a functioning body that would carefully select a President from a number of candidates. In any event, Elector is an office under the Constitution and the Elector casts the vote.

Our new Democrat Secretary of State, a tool with an IQ of a warm Spring day, denounced the decision because the Elector in question was a Clinton Elector who did not vote for her. But, my FRiends, consider this: Colorado has joined the Interstate Compact to effectively abolish the Electoral College by requiring Colorado's Electors to vote for the national popular vote winner. This decision also renders that legislation unconstitutional.

By allowing the elector to ignore the state law?
