I may die of laughter if she loses more votes to faithless electors than Trump.
Hopefully, just like Wisconsin's recount.

Why do these elitist feel they can vote the way they choose all of a sudden? Has an elector ever gone against the will of their state before?


This is the way the constitution was designed. Election day was meant to be merely a suggestion to the elctors on how to vote.

Today really is election day!

Come on, it might be that he is simply reacting to the Dem campaign against republican electors.
To make sure that any republican defectors can't reverse the election and throw the country into chaos/war.

Regardless of which elector votes for who, this is a slippery slope.


To echo another post, this is the way it was designed. They are doing nothing illegal by voting against the will of the people.

Majority rule; minority rights.

Seriously, could this election possibly have gone any worse for Democrats?

269-269


Nooooooo try again. That would be all 538 votes and there would be no electors to flip. The house would vote as the tie breaker.

Now say it was a 269-268-1 vote and you'd have a point.
