Governor Polis Statement on SCOTUS Ruling on Faithless Electors

Monday, July 6, 2020

DENVER - Gov. Polis released the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that state faithless elector laws are constitutional. 

“This is an important decision for the integrity of our democracy. I thank and congratulate Attorney General Phil Weiser for the thoughtful and successful argument he and his team presented to the Supreme Court on behalf of Coloradans. Until our country can fully reform our outdated electoral college rules, at least the vote of the people will be reflected by our electors.”
