Actually, states can -- according to the Constitution -- assign their electors based on any method they see fit.torrid said:
That just fundamentally makes no sense, the electoral votes of one state being decided by votes in other states. Flagrantly unconstitutional, but there is no telling how a Supreme Court case would go. It would entirely depend upon who is being denied the presidency and the composition of the court.
Quote:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
