It would only take 38 electors to change their votes and Hillary becomes President.

And then the ensuing civil war. Don’t think they want to be responsible for the downfall of America.

‘”It would only take 38 electors to change their votes and Hillary becomes President.’

Even if they could pull that off which I put the odds at about 1000 to 1 it would have to get past challenges in the Republican House of Representatives on January 6th. The whole attempt is an exercise in futility.

It might be fun to yank their chain by quietly spreading rumors among them that “up to 35 members of the electoral college are having second thoughts about voting for Donald Trump”.

Not gonna happen.

Liberal moonbats want Red State electors to go to against the wishes of their state’s inhabitants?

Good luck with it. And there are few swing states and this time around they don’t matter.

Faithless electors are rare.
38 at one is clear corruption, grounds for the House to reject the vote and decide without EC input.

I believe many wouldn’t respond to a couple d’etat very peacefully.

Only 38?? But throughout history, there have been just a relative handful of “faithless” electors, who didn’t vote for their party nominee. Sometimes we hear that one or two, in any given election cycle, didn’t vote as expected. It would be unprecedented, for 38 of them to abandon Trump.

And even if a number of Republicans still are not really behind Trump, would that many Republican electors really abandon Trump and vote for Hillary instead??? That idea really seems impossible, that big numbers of GOP electors would vote for the hated Hillary Clinton, just to show disapproval of Trump.
