Electors changing the people's vote

Most on here know of Chris Suprun (Tx) stating his electorial vote will not be for Trump. Is there a recourse to remove electors who have stated to not uphold their oath. I may have read it wrong, but I believe an elector was removed from Georgia's electors for this same situation.

Did he pledge one?

The elector in Georgia resigned to create a vacancy so that the governor could appoint a replacement. He wasn't removed.

If you take an oath then yes.

There was some online petition to remove that clown from Texas. It was almost met last I saw. Supposed to go to sen. Cruz when complete. Either way he'll spend the rest of his life with his head on a swivel.

But is there a mechanism for removal? This is my primary reason for the thread.

I imagine the process varies state by state

Some states strictly state that you HAVE TO vote how the public voted. Otherwise your vote doesn't count.
Texas has no such law. So I doubt they can remove him simply for not voting for Trump.
Maybe his contract is up soon, idk.

Not sure about that. I am just under the thought it will be taken care of one way or another. Surely the voters aren't just going to let that self righteous clown change their votes.

I thought this might be true, but wasn't sure.

I've seen a few blog sites where Texans are stewing that there vote won't be represented because of Suprun. As some had stated, he knew Trump was a lock early for the nomination. If he felt that much disgust then he should have withdrawn.

This is the petition I signed yesterday. Don't know how much weight it carries. I signed it with a my ex wife's name and email of course.

Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated as The President of the United States on January 20th 2017. There's no amount of lawsuits, screaming, crying, shaking, temper tantrums, or anything else that will change that.
That's all you need to know. MAGA all up in their fat pussy looking faces every chance you get

Been watching the Clinton's play political poker for many years. No reason to believe that they have changed.

The people have no vote, the electors do. This is the way the system is designed to intentionally keep the people from electing the President. This board now loves the Electoral College, so they love this idea.

Thats not "states rights". One (1) individual overturning the votes of the state cannot be an example of states rights.
