That Would Be Telling on Nostr: "delegates are required by law in most states to vote for their bound candidates." ...
"delegates are required by law in most states to vote for their bound candidates."
Really? Last time I checked *electors* in the Electoral Congress weren't, although the Supreme Court has allowed states to inflict some level of punishment on "faithless electors." Then again all that's part of the Constitution.
Here we're talking delegates to a party convention where there's already a "super delegate" set of people who are not picked by caucuses or primaries. And I've been reading/reminded the current Democratic Party rules release delegates if a first vote does not result in a winner.... And that there's of course a rules committee, which would have to have been part of the virtual vote they've set up, but it's of course packed with Team Biden people as happens with an incumbent.
And that the hard first deadline on all this is August 7th, required by Ohio to be on the ballot. Thus the virtual vote scheme, since the party ignored that state's ninety days before the election I think it was requirement when they set the August 19-22nd dates for their Chicago (!) convention. That assumes the party thinks they can carry that state, which is iffy at best, although maybe not if they run Big Mike at the top of the ticket.
