When the court rules in favor: another glorious triumph for the Constitution!
When the court rules against: damn these activist judges!
Funny.

Does this mean that Crooked Hillary won even fewer electoral votes than we thought?

And all this comes after efforts by TDS Dems to get electors to change their votes from Trump to Hillary

Whatever laws are passed need to be consistent with the US Constitution.
I am not sure how electors are chosen currently.

They are chosen by the state parties on behalf of their respective candidates. But the US Constitution does not mention political parties, so there must be some sort of law or Court ruling that regulates this process more specifically.

But it's OK for rural people that support republicans to elect a president for the whole country?

Thank God Trump won in 2016. Think of the countless left wing anti-Constitutional judges that would have been put on the bench. 8 years of Obama judges is bad enough.

One of the places I mentioned as an example Seattle located in King County, had 998,499 voters in 2016, 718,322 voted for Hillary, 216,339 voted for Trump.
Go to a neighboring county Kittata had 18,955 voters. 7,489 voted for Hillary, 10,100 voted for Trump. So tell me. How can it be possible for a rural area to override a high population area.
Elementary school lesson: The electoral college gives ALL states (even the small ones) a voice.
Please educate yourself about it. It's quite brilliant.

You don't understand how our country was founded. It's not a strict democracy, it's a democratic republic, The United STATES of America. States AND individuals share the responsibility of electing our President.
