The Neo-Redeemer Electoral College
The Historical legacy of racial quotas in the Constitutional design for effecting the citizens right to vote
and its Contemporary impact on present day presidential elections

The Constitution  requires  that unbounded States  (States that award their presidential electors on a "winner take all" basis ungrounded in either state or federal statute)  allocate their presidential electors in proportion to the popular vote split or suffer the federal statutory mandate to reduce the states' representatives in Congress.  The "winner take all" allocation of presidential electors triggers the malapportionment penalty of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (Amend.14§2) as implemented by the "Reduction of representation" federal statute Section 6 of title 2 of the United States Code (2USC§6), for an abridgment in the right "to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States." 

"Certificates of Votes" for 11 states violates the Constitution's Malapportionment Penalty Clause pursuant to 2 U.S.C &6.
Clinton with a majority in the popular vote also has a constitutionally mandated majority in the electoral college.

These eleven states are Alabama (with 3 electors pledged to Ms. Clinton), Arizona (5 for Clinton), Georgia (7 for Clinton, 1 for Mr. Johnson), Indiana (4 for Clinton, 1 for Johnson), Iowa (3 for Clinton), Michigan (8 for Clinton, 1 for Mr. Johnson ), North Carolina (7 for Clinton), Pennsylvania (10 for Clinton), South Carolina (4 for Clinton), Tennessee (4 for Clinton), and Wisconsin (5 for Clinton). This is the apportionment of electors based on the proportionment allocation of electors.
[#]The current allocation of Presidential Electors in at least 11 states is Un-Constitutional.
[#]The current allocation of Electors is: Trump (306), Clinton (232)
[#]The correct allocation of Electors should be: Clinton (291), Trump (244), Johnson (3)
[#]Clinton would thus has the requisite Electors to vote on December 19, 2016 to elect her.
[#]Clinton with a majority in the popular vote also has a constitutionally mandated majority in the electoral college.

"Electoral College Instructions...Hold the Meeting of Electors...There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law requiring Electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their States."
Notice of Potential Complaint for Declaratory Relief in the Nature of Mandamus and other Injunctive Relief.

Dear Sir:

"On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December", as provided by 3 U.S.C. §7, a total of 60 presidential electors from the eleven states of: Alabama(3), Arizona(5), Georgia(7), Indiana(4), Iowa(3), Michigan(8), North Carolina,(7) Pennsylvania(10), South Carolina (4), Tennessee(4) and Wisconsin(5), pledged to the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, will suffer an abridgment of their votes on Monday, Dec. 19th, 2016 in violation of the Malapportionment Penalty Clause of the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution pursuant to Title Two Section Six of the United States Code (2 U.S.C §6). The election codes of the aforementioned states do not specify a "Winner Take All" statute that explicitly awards the states' presidential electors to the candidate that wins a majority of the votes cast in the state, i.e. the states' award of presidential electors is not bound by state law. In the absence of an explicit "Winner Take All" state election code, the plain text of the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment mandates a proportional allocation of presidential electors according to the percentage of the popular votes cast in the state. Any presidential elector pledged to the Democratic candidate in the aforementioned unbounded states has Constitutional standing to demand the award of presidential electors according to the percentage of the popular vote cast for that candidate. If any of the unbounded states should fail to award electoral votes on this basis, they shall suffer a corresponding loss of representatives to Congress. There is no state election code under which the Governor or Attorney General of an unbounded state may deny a demand for such a proportional assignment of presidential electors.

Therefore, the final count of 306 presidential electors for Trump and 232 for Clinton is in violation of the Constitution's malapportionment penalty clause (Amend14§2). The voter-abridged 60 Democratic presidential electors have a Constitutional mandate to subtract 60 electors from Trump and add them to Clinton. Enforcement of the Constitutional apportionment mandate will award Clinton, who has already won a majority in the popular vote, a majority of 292 electors to 246 for Trump in the Electoral College.

The Archivist has delegated to the Director of the Federal Register the authority to carry out the administration of the electoral college process. Accordingly, the Legal Staff of the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) is required to examine the Certificates of Ascertainment and Votes for legal sufficiency. This requires the OFR to inform the unbounded state Governors and Electors before the December 19, 2016 meeting of Electors in the state capitals that their Certificates of Votes must abide by the Amend14§2 Constitutional mandate to allocate the states' electors in proportion to the popular vote cast or suffer a reduction in Congressional representation pursuant to 2U.S.C§6. Failure by the OFR to perform these functions constitutes malfeasance by The Archivist of the United States to perform functions relating to the Electoral College as required by law(3 U.S.C. sections 6, 11, 12, 13).

If the aforementioned Electoral College voting rights pursuant to Amend14§2 as implemented by 2U.S.C§6 are not communicated to the public and appropriate action taken by NARA on this matter by December 9th, I herein serve notice of an intent to file a civil Writ of Mandamus to compel NARA to rectify the discrepancies between the Certificates of Ascertainment and the Certificates of Vote for "unbounded" states to conform to the proportional allocation of presidential electors mandate of Section two of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Asa, fascinating stuff. Any response from NARA, Politico, et al.? I have heard nothing that zeroes in like you do in any of the post-election newspaper, on-line or TV discussions. Lots of references to the Electoral College in the mainstream media, but nothing that gets into the crucial nuts-and-bolt of it as you do.

We're heading out of town for 6 days so let us know if you get any respnses from officialdom or the press.

John

The following proposed Op-Ed was rejected by THE NATION; POLITICO, THE WASHINGTON POST and MSNBC, with a total "whiteout" in reporting on any of the information contained within the Op-Ed and at this web site:

60 "Faithful" Presidential Electors who can Save Our Democracy,

Enforce the Constitution, and Deny the Presidency to Donald Trump.

by Asa Gordon*

"On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December", as provided by 3 U.S.C. §7, sixty Democratic presidential electors from eleven states, pursuant to the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, as enforced by Title Two Section Six of the United States Code (2U.S.C§6), will have an historic and legal standing to democratize the Electoral College and deny the presidency to Donald Trump for the abridgment of their votes in the assembly of state presidential electors in the states' capitals on Dec.19th, 2016.

A total of 60 presidential electors from the eleven states of: Alabama(3), Arizona(5), Georgia(7), Indiana(4), Iowa(3), Michigan(8), North Carolina,(7) Pennsylvania(10), South Carolina (4), Tennessee(4) and Wisconsin(5), by proportional allocation that are pledged to the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, will suffer an abridgment of their votes on Monday, Dec. 19th, 2016 in violation of the Malapportionment Penalty Clause of the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. The election codes of the aforementioned states do not specify a "Winner Take All" statute that explicitly awards the states' presidential electors to the candidate that wins a majority of the votes cast in the state, i.e. the states' award of presidential electors is not bound by state law. In these unbounded states, "Winner Take All" is not based on the Constitution or grounded in state law, but simply by the states' tradition. There is no "Winner Take All" electoral default in the US Constitution. In the absence of an explicit "Winner Take All" state election code, the plain text of the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment mandates a proportional allocation of presidential electors according to the percentage of the popular votes cast in the state. According to the Constitution, any state failing to comply would suffer a corresponding reduction of representatives in Congress.

Therefore, any presidential elector pledged to the Democratic candidate in the aforementioned unbounded states has Constitutional standing to demand the award of presidential electors according to the percentage of the popular vote cast for that candidate. If any of the unbounded states should fail to award electoral votes on this basis, they shall suffer a corresponding loss of representatives to Congress. There is no state election code under which the Governor or Attorney General of an unbounded state may deny a demand for such a proportional assignment of presidential electors.

By way of an example, there is an explicit "winner take all" statute in the election code for Texas: Sec. 192.005. VOTE REQUIRED FOR ELECTION, states: "The set of elector candidates that is elected is the one that corresponds to the candidates for president and vice-president receiving the most votes."

Any of the 60 Democratic presidential electors, as individuals or as a class, whose voting representation in their state has been abridged, have a unique historic opportunity to save our nation's democracy, democratize the electoral college, and ensure that the presidential candidate who has won a majority of the popular vote will be awarded a majority in the electoral college.

The final count of 306 presidential electors for Trump and 232 for Clinton is in violation of the Constitution's malapportionment penalty clause. The voter-abridged 60 Democratic presidential electors have a Constitutional mandate to subtract 60 electors from Trump and add them to Clinton. Enforcement of the Constitutional apportionment mandate will award Clinton, who has already won a majority in the popular vote, a majority of 292 electors to 246 for Trump in the Electoral College.

Electors pledged to Ms. Clinton and Mr. Johnson, in at least these eleven states, have Constitutional standing to demand being seated as Electors from these states at the Electoral College and cast votes on December 19, 2016.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
GORDON v. NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION, et al.
Case 1:16-cv-02458-RJL

Monday, Dec. 19th, 2016
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS,
AND OTHER INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
...The constitutional framers of 1787 established a rigged electoral franchise predicated on racial quotas that disproportionately favored a white minority. The original constitution of 1787 racially privileged white minority affirmative action articles is reconstituted in our time by the mechanism of "winner take all" politics that is not grounded in the Constitution or Federal law....Plaintiff is entitled to an order in the nature of a mandamus to compel Defendants to reject Certificates of Votes that only record the award of electors by the least fair allocation of presidential electors on a winner-take-all basis ungrounded in State Law, Federal Law or the US Constitution over the obviously more fair proportional allocation of presidential electors based on Amend14§2, as enforced by 2U.S.C§6...

Friday, Dec. 23, 2016
...Why do we as a nation, choose to accept the least fair allocation of presidential electors on a winner-take-all basis ungrounded in State Law, Federal Law or the US Constitution over the obviously more fair proportional allocation of presidential electors based on Amend14§2, as enforced by 2U.S.C§? Why do we acquiescence in the inauguration of neo-redeemer politics by the election an affirmative action minority polled President that sustains the original intent of the Electoral College origins to preserve white supremacy over Democracy...

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM OF LAW
For the foregoing reasons the plaintiff seeks this temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction at this time to constrain the The Archivist and/or representatives from the Office of the Federal Register from recognizing Certificates of Votes for presentation when Congress meets in joint session on January 6, 2017 to count electoral votes that are in standing violation of the Constitution and predicated on a "Winner Take All" electoral formula ungrounded in either state or federal law and provides a constitutional mandate for 60 voter abridged presidential electors to envoke in future civil actions a reduction in congressional representation exacted on the party favored by a partisan allocation of electors in 11 unbounded states.

Monday, Jan. 9, 2017
Defendants, the National Archives and Records Administration, the Office of the Federal Register, the Archivist of the United States, and the Director of the Office of the Federal Register, hereby move to dismiss Plaintiff Asa Gordon’s complaint in its entirety. As shown in the accompanying brief, Mr. Gordon, lacks standing, his claims are moot, and there is no legal basis for the mandamus relief that he seeks. ...

Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017
Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff respectfully request an enlargement of time, to and including February 10, 2017, within which to respond to DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS. Defendants' counsel was contacted on Jan. 17, 2017 and consent to the plaintiff's motion.

Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017
ORDER
ORDERED that plaintiff may have his requested extension to oppose to the defendants' motion to dismiss. Plaintiff shall respond by February 10, 2017, or the Court will treat defendants' motion as conceded and may summarily dismiss the case.

SO ORDERED.

Friday, Feb. 10, 2017

... Finally, as established at the outset of this response, the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss submitted at the Jan. 9th TRO hearing, confirmed Plaintiff's assertion that the Defendants have the authority to provide redress for injury arising from an unconstitutionally constituted Electoral College, QED.
In proceedings before the court to date, i.e. the January 9th, 2017 TRO hearing, the Defendants' Counsel have represented NARA officials presiding over the integrity of the Electoral College and the Presidential electoral process as impotent empires that can call constitutional strikes on electors but cannot call electors out , referees who can call constitutional fouls on offending electors but can exact no penalty.

Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Local Rule LcvR 7.1(i) Plaintiff respectfully moves this Court for leave to file the attached Amended Complaint, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Law in Support, because it will clarify the dispute between the parties and will not cause any prejudice.

...Plaintiff's AMENDED COMPLAINT is supported by Defendants’ unwitting affirmation of Plaintiff's principle claim in their Motion to Dismiss... Thus Defendants affirm their authority and responsibility to ensure the constitutional integrity of presidential electors submitted by the states. This singular unwitting admission by Defendants constitutes a nugatory refutation of the entire set of arguments Defendants posit in their now fatally flawed Motion to Dismiss.


...Plaintiff seeks to move this Court to issue declaratory judgments and provide injunctive relief to ensure NARA faithfully discharges its responsibilities in regards to oversight of future presidential elections to certify the integrity of Article II Section 1 presidential electors and inclusive as amended by Section 2 Fourteenth Amendment presidential electors in order to effect an unbiased administration by NARA of all of the constitutional provisions governing presidential elections.
... There is facial evidence that Defendants are complicit in the illegitimate seating of at least 50 Trump Electors in the recent Electoral College in violation of U.S. Const. art. II, § 1. There is facial evidence that Defendants are complicit in at least 62 legitimate Clinton Electors not being seated in the recent Electoral College as alleged in the original complaint in violation of U.S. Const. amend. xiv, § 2.

Wed., Feb 15, 2017
  Defendants, the National Archives and Records Administration, the Archivist of the  United States, and the Director of the Federal Register, by undersigned counsel, respectfully move for a 7-day extension of time to file a reply in support of their motion to dismiss. ...
  There is good cause for the extension. On February 10, 2017, Plaintiff filed both an opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss and a motion to amend his complaint. Both papers raise similar issues including, in particular, Plaintiff’s standing to maintain this action. Under the different response times applicable to replies and oppositions, Defendants’ reply in support of their motion to dismiss is due on February 17, and their opposition to Plaintiff’s motion to amend is due on February 24. It would be more convenient for Defendants to address both Plaintiff’s papers at once given the similarity of issues. Defendants therefore request that the Court extend the deadline for them to file their reply to match the deadline for them to oppose Plaintiff’s motion to amend.

Fri. Feb.24, 2017
DEFENDANTS' CONSENT MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
...Defendants now seek leave to further extend their time to file both papers by three weeks, to March 17, 2017.
Fri. Mar. 17,2017
Plaintiff Asa Gordon lacks the standing necessary to bring this lawsuit, just as he lacked the standing to bring substantially similar claims on two prior occasions. 1 His scattershot attempts to address those standing defects through various arguments and a proposed pleading amendment all fail, and he has not addressed other bases for dismissal put forward in Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Consequently, his motion for leave to amend his complaint should be denied and this action should be dismissed. ...
Fri. Apr. 21, 2017
    This Case or Controversies arises out of the ministerial legal duties of the defendant National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) Office of the Federal Register (OFR) required by law to perform certain functions relating to the Electoral College. NARA acting pursuant to 3 U.S.C. 6, 11, 12, and 13, creates legal rights to "ensure" the constitutional integrity of   "Certificates of  Votes", including by its publication of  "Provisions of the Constitution and United States Code relating to Presidential Elections" an enforceable right to receive truthful information concerning the electoral process that automatically creates standing if these rights are violated.

“[t]he actual or threatened injury required by Art. III may exist solely by virtue of ‘statutes creating legal rights, the invasion of which creates standing….’ ” Warth v. Seldin, supra, at 500, 95 S.Ct., at 2205, quoting Linda R.S. v. Richard D., 410 U.S. 614, 617, n. 3, 93 S.Ct. 1146, 1148, n. 3, 35 L.Ed.2d 536 (1973).

    Furthermore, Defendants' have not contested  arguments rasied in Plaintiff's Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for leave to File Amended Complaint .
