"Per Article 2, Section 1: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,"

So this state directed that an elector could be nullified if he didn't follow the state's instructions which was to vote according to the state's popular vote.

Where does the judge get off overriding the state legislature when the Constitution clearly assigns the power to the state legislature?

Should appeal this to SCOTUS.

The danger is people buying elector's votes, or threatening electors and people running as electors with evil intent.

You are among the few who understand the EC.

Alexander Hamilton explained it all in Federalist #68.

The Framers' Electoral College.

The Constitution gives the states the power to appoint electors. It doesn't go beyond that.

You’re a bit confused.

Electors cannot be bound.
