If an elector in a State requiring him/her to vote as pledged does not, he/she is answerable to the State but that vote is Constitutionally valid.

Doug, why doesn’t say Justice Scalia order the record unsealed and the birth certificate produced as a court exhibit? I’m not a lawyer but that might expedite decision, no?

12th amendment they vote individually for both POTUS and VP. They should vote for Biden for VP at the least and then the 25th amendment takes over as I see it.

Note that this list is badly out of date. As of today, the attempt of any Elector to vote differently than as pledged constitutes an automatic resignation (almost all states). In most states, this attempt is also a felony.

When an Elector seeks to violate his/her pledge, the remaining Electors can choose anyone, including the Building Superintendent who is waxing the floor in the hall, swear that person in, and they can cast that vote.

The answer of what happens when a candidate is disqualified, is provided by Horace Greeley, who ran for President but died after the election, but before the Electoral College met. Greeley's Electors were then freed to vote as they chose. The same would happen to Obama's Electors if he were ruled ineligible to receive those votes.

This is the fourth thread on which I've given the Horace Greeley explanation. Doesn't anyone read te threads on FR? Sheesh.

Thank you for this info.
What is the status of your/the lawsuit against Hillary there in So Cal including Peter Paul?
What will happen to the swuit if Hillary is named Sec of State?
Can she stonewall it any further?
Thanks for the info.
Have a very nice Thanksgiving. Hope the fires didn’t bother you, and that you are not a victim of the landslides which may follow.
By the way- do you happen to know a business there in Burbank called “Ralph’s Electric Inc”?
It is at 519 S Victory. He is a Maytag dealer there and the business has been there for over 60 years.
Let me know if(or not) you know the place and the Owner- Robert Muravez.

They can completely DQ Obama and not have him up for vote at all with no alternative but to vote for McCain / Palin. If it ultimately goes to The House, they could only have the option to vote for McCain, McCain or McCain.

CALIFORNIA - 55 Electoral Votes State Law - § 6906

I looked up the California law. The electors are bound to vote for the candidate *of the political party* they were chosen to represent, not for the individual whose name appeared on the ballot.

As I read it, that means if the best happens, and Obama's true birth certificate or other document, reveals that he is not a natural born citizen, then the DNC, or the equivalent state level group, can declare Hillary, or anyone else they choose, to be their party's candidate, and that person would then get California's 55 electoral votes.
