[7] Arguing that Trump's nomination would lead to a Republican loss to Clinton and, if successful, a weak, chaotic presidency [8] and that he would risk jail rather than vote for Trump,[9] Correll sued Virginia's Attorney General Mark Herring in Correll v. Herring, an effort to unbind the delegation under state law.
Correll is also the founder of Free The Delegates, a Super PAC, created to oppose the ascent of Trump to the Republican nomination and paving the way for a new nominee.
[14] On July 11, 2016, the federal court ruled in Correll's favor, striking down the binding statute on First Amendment grounds, thus, unbinding delegates under state law.
He has been a commentator for Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC and resides in Winchester, Virginia.
Correll graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor's degree in international studies and political science.
