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.

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

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.

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.

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

In some states yes. Some no.

States rights.

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.

The electoral college exists to prevent the howling mob from taking control of the country. Let's hope it works as designed.

I saw an article recently that said thirty states have laws binding the electors to their pledged votes. Twenty, obviously do not.

So it could still be a mess.

What we are being prepped for is that neither Trump nor Clinton get a majority in the EC for whatever reason. At that point I wouldn't put it past the House to elect Clinton. Seriously, she is much more aligned with the establishment uni-party that has been in power for a while now.

The Rethugs selling out to the uni-party and abandoning its very gullible base, is how Trump won the nomination.

We saw how Ryan and others acted to Trump's candidacy.

I have been crying wolf for so long I have to be right some day.

Clinton could still get into the White House.

Why do you think every police department in the country now has armored vehicles?
