This sets forth why the plaintiffs believe that the winner-take-all system for choosing presidential electors in 48 states violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

But is upheld by the 12th Amendment.

Not particularly. The 12th Amendment says nothing about how the electors from a given state are to be distributed. If states want to do it some other way, do it. It’s just become convention that we do winner-take-all. And it’s easier for the idiot media.
