New Electoral College Lawsuits


Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.

On February 21st, a team of Elite Attorneys sued in Four States, in separate Federal lawsuits.

All Four Lawsuits argue that the Winner-Take-All aspect of the Electoral College violates the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

The Plaintiffs include Voters, but also Organizations that represent Hispanic and African-American Voters.

The Four Cases were filed in:

California - the Case is Rodriguez v Brown, c.d., 2:18cv-1422.

Massachusetts - the Case is Lyman v Baker, 1:18cv-10327. The State will answer the Complaint by May 21st.

South Carolina - the Case is Baten v McMaster, 2:18cv-510.

Texas - the Case is Unites Latin American Citizens v Abbott, w.d., 5:18cv-175. The State will answer the Complaint by April 9th.

Similar Cases have been Filed in the past and have not won. But those Precedents were prior to the 2000 Decision Bush v Gore, 531 U.S. 98, in which the U.S. Supreme Court said, Having once granted the right to vote on equal terms, the state may not, later arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person's vote over that of another.
