Larry Lessig, a Harvard University constitutional law professor who made a brief run for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, claimed Tuesday that 20 Republican members of the Electoral College are considering voting against Donald Trump, a figure that would put anti-Trump activists more than halfway toward stalling Trump’s election.
Lessig’s anti-Trump group, “Electors Trust,” has been offering pro bono legal counsel to Republican presidential electors considering ditching Trump and has been acting as a clearinghouse for electors to privately communicate their intentions....

Not too worried about Texas.
It would not surprise me if Soros is attempting to bribe the Electors. Sounds like the guy in TX has problems, financial and otherwise, so susceptible to that kind of thing.
The point is that the Constitution gives the power to the state legislatures to set up the electors and in doing so state legislatures can require the electors not to be faithless. Not all states have done so but some have. So if one of a state’s electors does flip and the state law forbids it, it would seem that the wronged candidate would have a remedy to reverse the betrayal.
Hallucinating. No amount of SorozNazi $$ could compensate them for committing suicide.
And then it goes to the house....which will vote for trump
Anti-Trump Texas faithless elector Stephen Christopher “Chris” Suprun, who wrote a widely-shared op-ed in The New York Times about his decision, joined and paid for cheating website Ashley Madison in 2012, using the same address registered to his 9/11 charity, while bankrupt, likely unemployed, and married with three young kids, after he and his working wife owed over $200,000 to multiple creditors

Sheriff Clarke mentioned the incredible pressure those electors are under and I had a sense from hearing him that trump’s team is a very small tad concerned..he mentioned we should to be on alert and ready...December 19 is going to be very interesting...
No they’ll be hailed as heroes by the mediapukes and HELLywood ding-dongs and the billionaire establishment ...there will be many perks given and cushy jobs on radio or TV shows..
“Hey, this from a Harvard law professor. Take it to the bank.”
I’m sure he predicted Hillary by a landslide as well.....
“Hey, this from a Harvard law professor. Take it to the bank.”
A Harvard law professor would be especially experienced at pulling stuff out of his ass.
This is the sort of lunacy that can set off violence and even revolution, as it has so often throughout history. A handful of self-important assh***s wants to thwart a constitutional process in which more than one hundred million
Americans participated...
See post #20 above
Oh my I am remembering ALL of the NOISE about the absolute projected contested convention..........NOT!!!!!
I remember 2000 and the rats only needed to flip 2 to win and it didn’t happen.
He belongs to a group encouraging, and offering free legal counsel to, any elector who can thus be bribed into coerced subversion of our electoral process?
His testes should be publicly scraped off with a wire brush. Then he'd learn...
Makes you wonder if free ambulance chasers is what these electors will need if they negate and make worthless millions of their states voters nallots. With all their personal data alread released prompting the threats by the libs and dems if they didn’t flip, probably a more realistic scenario will be complete relocation and something akin to the federal witness protection program for life for them and their families. You just cannot take away peoples votes and not expect some blowback.
emember 2000 and the rats only needed to flip 2 to win and it didn’t happen
True but..Bush didn’t have the establishment leadership actually colluding with the Rats and the Electors didn’t get death threats and/or bribe offers. There has never been anything like this.
True but...the Republicans have all the guns
Okay! If they are not going to follow the rules then we can do what we mist do!
