This is really much ado about nothing.
Only one comment thread below seems to address what was actually decided.
The court issued no opinion about the pact between states to direct the electors to vote according to the national vote, because it hasn’t happened yet, it cannot be challenged and enough states haven’t signed on yet.
As far as I can tell, there’s nothing to see here.
But this is SW. That’s par for the course

@JoeyFoxx "Washington moved to fine Peter Bret Chiafalo and two others $1,000 after they voted for former secretary of state Colin Powell when the electoral college convened after the 2016 election. They had pledged to vote for Hillary Clinton, who won the state’s popular vote."
"As the court’s opinion noted of the 2016 contest: “Only seven electors across the Nation cast faithless votes — the most in a century, but well short of the goal."
