[EL] Breadth of 'federal jurisdiction' over POTUS election

[Mark Scarberry]

Two quick comments; then I need to sign off to write exams.
It seems unlikely that a state constitutional provision can limit a legislature's choice of the manner by which electors are chosen.
Use of national popular vote is not a manner by which a "state" chooses its electors, as required by Art. II.

Can anyone comment on the legal issues Paul Jacob raises in the attached brief dialogue? (Paul is a fairly influential activist in this arena. I believe he was a main leader for the initiative for California to place term limits on its congressional delegation, which courts struck down).
