First Circuit Upholds Massachusetts Law for Choosing Presidential Electors

Massachusetts, like 47 other states, elects its presidential electors on a winner-take-all system, in which the slate that gets the highest popular vote wins all of the state’s electors. On March 31, the First Circuit said that provision does not violate the U.S. Constitution. Here is the opinion in Lyman v Baker, 18-2235.

A similar case had the same outcome in Texas earlier this year. Other similar cases are pending in Appellate courts in California and South Carolina. Thanks to Howard Bashman for this news.
