A step closer to eliminating the e*******l college.

That's their goals!

==================
When popular v**es decide and not the e*******l, that's the same as eliminating the e*******l v**es. Those states with the highest v**er population like New York, and California, Florida, and Texas could decide the winner. Small states with lower v**ers are disenfranchised. The LIBS want this. Most populated states are loaded with liberal democrats and i******s that LIBS require to v**e also.

How? States have the right to determine how their e*****rs should v**e, including for the popular v**e winner.

When it was put forth that expectation was always the state's popular v**e was to determine the e*******l college v**e. It was expected but wasn't enforced by anything other the expectation. That is why a punishment was mentioned for rogue v**ers. Now since it has happened that the college went against the expectation the states are making sure the college follows what was expected.

The e*******l college was established to prevent a few large states from running the country.

You really don't seem to understand the e*******l collage, and how it works. The candidate who wins the majority v**es wins the e*******l v**es of the state, nothing new there, so this thing Fox is reporting is a big nothing.

Sorry had to edit..

They are following the constitutional guidelines on an e*******l v**e and stopping the e*****rate from disregarding the winner of the state by making their own v**e. They had already been to the supreme court over this and the Supreme Court ruled accordingly.

The e*****rate agrees to v**e according to the winner chosen by the state before becoming an e*****rate v**er..Those whom have side stepped it are subject to fines etc.

Here's the case snd that is what Colorado did in putting it before the people..

U.S. Supreme Court upholds Colorado’s right to remove “faithless e*****rs” in consequential ruling
The “faithless e*****rs” decision threatened to have major consequences in the upcoming e******n by reshaping the E*******l College

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed with Colorado’s argument that the state should be able to remove p**********l e*****rs who ignore the v**e of the people in a closely watched ruling that threatened to have major consequences in the upcoming e******n by reshaping the E*******l College.

In a unanimous decision, the justices sided with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s argument that if the state doesn’t have the ability to remove p**********l e*****rs bribery and political chaos could ensue.

“Today we consider whether a State may also penalize an e*****r for breaking his pledge and v****g for someone other than the p**********l candidate who won his State’s popular v**e. We hold that a State may do so,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in delivering the opinion.


Kagan said that states can instruct their e*****rs “that they have no ground for reversing the v**e of millions of its citizens. That direction accords with the Constitution—as well as with the trust of a Nation that here, We the People rule.”

Justices Stephen Breyer, John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh agreed with Kagan’s ruling, which included references to the television show “Veep” and the Broadway musical “Hamilton.”

Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch filed an opinion concurring with their colleagues mostly along the lines of state’s rights.

It's like that in many States, including mine. Some States assign e*******l v**es according to how many districts a candidate wins and, for all I know, some States use rock-paper-scissors.

Colorado already went to Biden - why would they do that?

I thought it was to prevent states with large cities from running the country?
