Supreme Court Rules State 'Faithless Elector' Laws Constitutional
 
quote
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday upheld state laws that remove or fine Electoral College delegates who refuse to cast their votes for the presidential candidate they were pledged to support. The vote was unanimous.

"The Constitution's text and the nation's history both support allowing a state to enforce an elector's pledge to support his party's nominee — and the state voters' choice — for President," Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court. Laws that remove or penalize delegates reflect "a longstanding tradition in which electors are not free agents; they are to vote for the candidate whom the State's voters have chosen."

This is a good decision. It fortifies the integrity of the electoral process.

and CNN's headline: Supreme Court says states can punish Electoral College voters

How often does this happen?
Now let's do the 2nd Amendment cases that have been held up or declined for no good reason.
