Supreme Court Oral Argument in Chiafalo v. Washington
1 hour, 18 minutesIn a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that a state can require an elector to vote for the presidential candidate who won that state's popular vote and if that elector does not do so that person can be penalized.

Mr. Chiafalo and the electors filed suit challenging the law. This ruling also applies to a similar case, Colorado Department of State v. Baca.
