On July 11, a U.S. District Court in Virginia enjoined the state law that tells delegates to major party presidential conventions that they must vote for the candidate who won the Virginia presidential primary for that party. However, the decision will have little practical effect. The national party is still free to have its own rules binding delegates. The case had been filed by Beau Correll, a Republican delegate who supports U.S. Senator Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination.
The case is Correll v Herring, e.d., 3:16cv-467. The decision is 65 pages long.
One state down. 49 to go.
One more subversion of Democracy — i.e. voting for some HACK means ZERO.
Civil WAR II gets closer and closer.
—
Abolish the EVIL rotted Electoral College with ALL of its EVIL machinations — esp. this case with this HACK.
P.R and nonpartisan App.V.
It’s my understanding that this could theoretically affect the Democratic Party but not the Republican Party, as the Republican Party that has rules indicating that the national convention will essentially disregard the actual votes of “unfaithful delegates” instead simply counting them as votes for whomever the delegates originally pledged to vote.
