Josh Putnam, who runs the FrontloadingHQ blog about presidential primaries, has this article at 538.com. He discusses the idea that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that presidential electors are free to vote for any qualified candidate, that “chaos” would insue. Putnam says that is a groundless fear. He points out that in the states in which there were “disobedient” elections in 2016, the major parties had a decentralized system for choosing presidential elector nominees, but that the major parties are free to centralize their method. He says that the Washington state Democratic Party has already done so.

A decision will be out soon from the U.S. Supreme Court about presidential elector freedom of choice. Thanks to Fairvote for the link.
