Washington Bill to Replace “Faithless” Presidential Electors

Washington State Senator Patty Kuderer (D-Bellevue) has introduced SB 5074. It would provide that a presidential elector who did not vote for the presidential candidate who received the most popular votes in the state would be replaced. All parties, and also independent presidential candidates, would have been required in advance to submit not only a list of presidential elector candidates, but also a list of an equal number of replacement presidential electors.

Washington state now fines “faithless” presidential electors, but allows them to vote for anyone, and counts that vote.

Washington Bill to Replace “Faithless” Presidential Electors — 4 Comments

  1. How many MORON States/DC allow any such *faithless* Electors ???

    — akin to some State election HACK issuing FALSE election results for State ballot issues, State officers, etc.

  2. It will probably take at least 3 months for the 9 justices of the Washington State Supreme Court to issue an opinion. There is no rush.

  3. There is always a rush in election law cases

    — the MONSTERS always trying to get past the next election.

    The SCOTUS hacks have paralyzed the State and lower Fed courts in election law cases.
