The U.S. Supreme Court has docketed Colorado Department of State v Baca, one of the two pending lawsuits over whether presidential electors are free to vote for anyone who meets the constitutional qualifications. It is case 19-518. The cert petition was filed by the state last week. The response of the Colorado Democratic presidential electors who filed the original case is due November 20, 2019. It is likely that the electors’ response will also urge the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. The Tenth Circuit had ruled against the state, and in favor of freedom for presidential electors. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the news about the docketing.
