U.S. Supreme Court justices worry about 'chaos' in Electoral College dispute

Supreme Court justices on Wednesday indicated skepticism toward whether "electors" in the complex Electoral College system for choosing U.S. presidents may disregard laws directing them to back the candidate who prevails in their state's popular vote. During arguments in two closely watched cases from Colorado and Washington state, the justices signaled concern for safeguarding states' ability to remove electors who have been bribed to vote for a particular candidate. The arguments were held less than six months before the Nov. 3 election in which presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden challenges Republican President Donald Trump.
