Monte1076 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The Supreme Court, in a 9-0 Decision, has said that states can punish electors who don't vote based on who wins the vote in that state. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/faithless-electors-supreme-court-says-states-can-punish-electoral-college-voters/ar-BB16oL0K?li=BBnb4R7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all this decision really does is say that states can punish electors. It doesn't say that they have to. So that "pact" that some states are trying to do where they give their EVs to the winner of the non-existent "national popular vote" regardless of who wins the popular vote in that state could theoretically still be used. So as an example, under that scenario let's say Trump wins Wisconsin's popular vote. If Wisconsin is part of that "pact", and Biden wins the non-existent "national popular vote", then Wisconsin could decide to give its EVs to Biden, even though Trump won the state. Let that sink in.
