Today: the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments about #FaithlessElectors in presidential elections. We filed a brief urging #SCOTUS to rule against Electoral College members who break from a state’s popular vote, inviting corruption & impropriety.

Federal anti-corruption laws do not apply to presidential electors. A ruling to “unbind” them from their home-state voters would introduce new opportunities for wealthy special interests to influence our politics & for electors to cast their votes in favor of the highest bidder.
If #SCOTUS allows #FaithlessElectors, we'd have to ensure that electors are subject to the same anti-corruption rules as government officials. It'd be much better for American democracy if #SCOTUS ruled against them.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/faithless-electors/607831/ …
Wasn’t the possibility of faithless electors considered a benefit to our election system when created? It was supposed to protect us from the whimsy of the voting public, or some such.
The electoral college should be abolished period-At the very least, it should reflect the voting results-If there are 10 electoral votes and the voting results are 60/40, then 6 votes should go to the 60% candidate and 4 to the 40% candidate-That's fairer to the voters.
