>From wiki:
The United States Constitution <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution> does not specify a notion of pledging; no federal law or constitutional statute binds an elector's vote to anything. All pledging laws originate at the state level;[5] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector#cite_note-5>[6] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector#cite_note-6> the U.S. Supreme Court <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States> upheld these state laws in its 1952 ruling Ray v. Blair <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_v._Blair>. In 2020, the Supreme Court also ruled in Chiafalo v. Washington <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiafalo_v._Washington> that states are free to enforce laws that bind electors to voting for the winner of the popular vote in their state.[7] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector#cite_note-7> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
