Tenth Circuit Hears “Faithless” Presidential Elector Case

On January 24, the Tenth Circuit heard the Colorado case filed by 2016 presidential electors who were unseated when they didn’t initially vote for Hillary Clinton. Baca v Williams, 18-1173. Here is an Associated Press story about the hearing, although it doesn’t say anything about the reaction of the three judges.

The three judges were Mary Beck Briscoe, a Clinton appointee; Carolyn McHugh, an Obama appointee; and Jerome Holmes, a Bush Jr. appointee.

Tenth Circuit Hears “Faithless” Presidential Elector Case — 6 Comments

  1. What does it mean that the presidential elector was replaced? The state can replace electors until they get the vote results they want? Sumting wong here.

  2. The theory is that the State represented to the voters that if they voted for Clinton or Trump or whomever, and that candidate received the most votes, then the presidential electors associated with that candidate would actually vote for that candidate.

    Colorado statute says that electors shall vote for the candidates associated with their election. They would not have been presidential electors but for the fact of that association.

    In Colorado, the electors swore an oath that they would vote for Clinton. After one elector violated his oath, he was removed. The procedure to fill vacancies was then followed.

  3. OK. See, THIS IS WHY the presidential electors should all meet in DC to cast their votes and NOT in their states. That way they can caucus, discuss, debate, etc and whatever votes they make first would count without any other influence. That’s why it’s called an electoral “college.”

  4. How about look at 14 Amdt, Sec. 2 ???

    — right to vote SUBVERTED [NOT merely denied/abridged] when some stunt MORON does not vote for the Prez choice of the HUMAN voters.

    Con LAW 001 —

    indirect = direct.

    IE
    indirect SUBVERSION [by stunt MORONS] = direct SUBVERSION.

    IE – put the stunt MORONS in JAIL/ZOO for 200 years as jail/zoo exhibits — not merely replace them.

    — mess is akin to some SOS hack MORON certifying that ZZ is elected when AA got more votes for the office —
    DIRECT SUBVERSION.

    On to the SCOTUS hacks ASAP before the 2020 Prez election.
