  2. Richard: Isn’t it contradictory for the Secretary of State to say that all Electors MUST vote for the Presidential candidate who received the most votes in California, yet it also maintains that (at some as yet undetermined date in the future) the National Vote Plan will FORCE whichever Presidential Electors are chosen at that election to vote for the Presidential candidate with the largest National popular vote, irregardless of the fact it’s unconstitutional for any ELECTOR to consider the Presidential candidates vote outside their own state. Also, do those proponents REALLY think that a pledged Elector will vote for the OTHER major party candidate, particularly if the Elector is pledged to a non-major party candidate.

  3. The National Popular Vote pact, if it were in effect, and if Donald Trump had received the most popular votes in the nation, would have caused the California Republican nominees to be elected. It isn’t as though a bunch of Democratic electors would have been given the job and yet told they had to vote for Donald Trump.

  4. California has provisions for unpledged slates of electors. Had Koller wished to be a free agent, he should have run on such a ticket.

  5. If unpledged Electors hold a presidential election in the balance and refuse to give any candidate a majority, the decision goes to the U. S. House of Representatives. In the House voting is by state unit rule. Can California punish its Representatives if a majority of them do not vote as the state popular vote went or as the National Popular Vote pact dictates?
