U.S. District Court Expedites Case on Whether Virginia Law, Requiring Delegates to National Conventions to Vote a Certain Way, is Unconstitutional

Posted on by

As previously noted, on June 24 a Virginia delegate to the Republican National convention filed a federal lawsuit against a state law requiring delegates to vote for the presidential candidate (on the first ballot) who polled the most votes in the presidential primary. Judge Robert E. Payne has expedited the case. The briefs on both sides are due Friday, July 1. Here is the amended complaint filed in the case, which is Correll v Herring, e.d., 3:16cv-467. The case has a hearing on July 7, Thursday.

  1. The party hack nomination process (by part of the public Electors of a State) is part of the Electoral College election process —

    i.e. STATE (aka govt) action.

    Thus – even more subversion of Democracy (i.e. the will of the Voters) coming if election results can be ignored ???
    —
    Abolish the ENTIRE party hack nomination process.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
