California Elector Vince Kohler, John Kasich Legal Challenge
Vince Kohler, a Democratic elector from Monterey County, California, sought a federal injunction to allow him to vote his conscience in the Electoral College.

Under California law, electors who do not vote for their pledged candidate face felony charges and up to three years in prison.
