(CNN) The Supreme Court announced Tuesday that Justice Sonia Sotomayor will no longer participate in one of two hot-button cases this term concerning so-called faithless presidential electors, or those who vote for someone other than the state's popular vote winner. "The initial conflict check conducted in Justice Sotomayor's Chambers did not identify this potential conflict," Harris wrote. There are two cases, one from Colorado and one from Washington state, before the justices. Polly Baca, Sotomayor's friend, is linked to the Colorado case. The Court indicated that while Sotomayor would no longer participate in the Colorado case, she would participate in the Washington state case.
