Regardless of the way this decision comes down, maybe this will be the inspiration we need to abolish the undemocratic Electoral College all together. The author came so close to reaching the conclusion that the EC is vestigial, for all the reasons they don't want them to act "faithlessly."the American people expect presidential electors to behave like robots, voting uncritically for whoever their state supported in the election.
