December 2, 20169 yr Mostly small fines or getting barred from serving as an elector again. I think Michigan might be the only state that will replace a faithless elector. This sort of thing comes up every election and it's incredibly unlikely 30+ electors switch their vote. But, I would find it such a delicious irony if this pointlessly undemocratic institution rejected Trump. I think only something like 236 in the history of the country has ever done it. And half were due to illness or death I believe.
December 2, 20169 yr Is It Legal for Electors to Vote Their Conscience? | Law News Looks like precedent says faithless electors don't have a choice.

It is truly sad if you really think this...so you are OK with the electors just voting for who they want and not following the will of the people in their state that they represent...just because you don't like Trump. While I don't always agree with you I typically respect your opinions...not this time...

While I don't always agree with you I typically respect your opinions...not this time... After being beaten over the head for the last month about the necessity of obscuring the will of the people (for reasons that are still not entirely lucid to me) through this obtuse system even Madison thought was poorly designed, I would find it humorously ironic for this undemocratic institution to function undemocratically (as designed), much to the chagrin of its erstwhile supporters.
December 3, 20169 yr Anyone who supports this is a damn idiot. So sick of the crybaby losers on the left. The right dealt with losing when Obama won, now these sorry crybabies are trying this to get their way? So pathetic. Disgusting individuals who can't stand the thought of losing. I'm sure most who are ok with this are also ok with participation trophies too. Pathetic.

December 3, 20169 yr How well I remember. Yes, I remember the protests, shutting down streets in major cities, college students wanting out of class and not to take tests, high school students leaving class in protest, the Green Party candidate wanting recounts in states that Romney lost by slim margins................... You must admit, your side has been a little over the top on this loss.
December 3, 20169 yr Left cant touch base with reality , There are unhinged and unstable and not thinking clearly at this time .... and the funny part - They don't even realize it .
December 3, 20169 yr The worst part of it is these clowns can't see how vulnerable they're making our country for attacks.
December 3, 20169 yr So my whole point is this. Regardless if you give the guy the time or click, he may be right and be reporting news that for some reason no other main outlet will. Even Fox News.Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but I am not going to buy one.
December 3, 20169 yr I feel sheltered , I dont know an Alex Jones or anything about Info wars .. every know and then I see a bumper sticker with some type of comment about it , but I'm not familiar with them at al.

I like to take my facts straight, with as little opinion watering them down as possible. Unfortunately, it is becoming difficult to find news sources that take an honest stab at objective journalism.
December 3, 20169 yr This isn't really a conspiracy. It's being reported by regular media members that Democrat electors and lawyers are pushing republican electors to not vote Trump. It's just not going to happen.
