Supreme Court Bungles Electoral College Case

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with the Life and Liberty Minute. The state of Washington fined three of its electors $1000 a piece for voting their conscience in 2016 instead of voting the way Washington wanted them to. The Supreme Court gave their opinion on this case this week, and said Washington gets to force their electors to vote against their own will for the candidate of the state’s choice. But this ruling is misguided. Elections are always free of coercion in the United States. Nobody can be forced to vote against his own judgment. When he is casting his ballot, the issue is between him and God and nobody else. That’s why we jealously guard the sanctity of the voting booth. These electors in Washington changed their mind after they were chosen as electors. But people change their mind about their preferred candidate all the time. The Court is wrong.
