The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Delaware and 11 other states challenging the winner take all electoral votes system. The move would have struck down state laws awarding all electoral votes to the leading popular vote winner, potentially reshaping presidential elections. The decision leaves the question to Congress and upholds the current electoral framework. The court also refused to reopen Gideon v. Wainwright for indigent defense and denied another appeal involving a chronic alcoholic and a minor offense.
