- Chiafalo v. Washington, 591 U.S. ___ (2020), was a United States Supreme Court case on the issue of "faithless electors" in the Electoral College stemming from the 2016 United States presidential election. The Court ruled unanimously, by a vote of 8–0, that states have the ability to enforce an elector's pledge in presidential elections. Chiafalo deals with electors who received US$1,000 fines for not voting for the nominees of their party in the state of Washington. The case was originally consolidated with Colorado Department of State v. Baca, 591 U.S. ___ (2020), a similar case based on a challenge to a Colorado law providing for the removal and replacement of an elector who does not vote for the presidential candidate who received the most votes in the state, with the electors claiming they have discretion to vote as they choose under the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution. On March 10, 2020, Justice Sonia Sotomayor recused herself in the Colorado case due to a prior relationship to a respondent, and the cases were decided separately on July 6, 2020. Baca was a per curiam decision that followed from the unanimous ruling in Chiafalo against the faithless electors and in favor of the state. (en)
- Chiafalo v. Washington was een zaak die in 2020 diende voor het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof. De zaak draaide om de vraag of staten kunnen afdwingen dat door hen benoemde kiesmannen in het Kiescollege in lijn stemmen met de uitslag in die staat bij het kiezen van een nieuwe president. De directe aanleiding hiervoor was een aantal kiesmannen die tijdens de presidentsverkiezingen in 2016 een stem uitbracht op een alternatieve kandidaat. Het Hooggerechtshof oordeelde dat staten in hun recht staan om dit te verhinderen. (nl)
