Hillary had more faithless electors than Trump

One Washington elector even cast his vote for Faith Spotted Eagle, an Indian tribal chief.

This is disturbing actually. Our electoral college system should be followed as it was intended and this shows a lack of respect for the system. I hope this will not trend in future elections

Yeah, state legs need to pass laws putting punishment in place for these rogue electors.

Should we not expect to see a better screening system and a more airtight agreement with regard to the elector selection process in the future.
Activists need not be placed in those roles.

No surprise, Bill has always been faithless.

Agreed. It's probably one of the unintended consequences of Donald J Trump. I said a long time ago I was prepared to eat some crap sandwiches in order to get someone in office who would at least attempt to get things done.

They were likely trying to validate the point that ALL electors should switch up. Kinda like a fool likes others to follow in their foolishness.

Will Michael Moore pay those fines too?

Tigamike you are not yet well informed. The founders intended this day exactly.
A thousand people could give you reasons why neither of them is fit.
The electors are supposed to use their judgement and discretion.

All this talk about forcing the electors to vote for so and so would mean we dont get the benefit of having a buffer against the mob.
You people are missing the whole point of having them because you have so little space on your point of view on trump.

She had 6 attempted defections (2 people tried to vote for Sanders and were blocked from doing so).

oh bullshite
The founders did not intend electors to face fricking death threats from losers who can't handle it.
They were men back then

They can just all abstain. If you go back and read what the framers intended, they never intended the electors having the ability to overturn an election. You take a lot out of context if you choose to believe what has been written about this recently.
And if Hillary had won, as much as I viewed her as a threat, I wouldn't want electors overturning that either.

Celtic Dog...I am fully informed and understand that the electoral college is a fail safe step in the process but when electors start voting for "Faith Spotted Eagle" and the such, then they are just making a farce of the system and not acting in the faith of our founding fathers intentions.

White males, therefore invalid. Anything ever created by a white male should be ignored.
