A teenager from Washington state has become the seventh person to indicate that she will break ranks with party affiliation and become a “faithless elector” in an attempt to prevent Donald Trump being formally enshrined as president-elect when the electoral college meets on 19 December.
Levi Guerra, 19, from Vancouver, Washington, is set to announce that she is joining the ranks of the so-called “Hamilton electors” at a press conference at the state capitol in Olympia on Wednesday.
The renegade group believes it is the responsibility of the 538 electors who make up the electoral college to show moral courage in preventing demagogues and other threats to the nation from gaining the keys to the White House, as the founding fathers intended....

Then that’s one less for Hellary and her effort to “steal” just got harder! If this is real & not a “look-at-me-look-at-me” stunt.
Not that Hellary has much of a snowballs chance anyway!
I had to read the article to believe that you all are correct, these idiots will actually deny CLINTON her electoral votes. Totally bizarre.
The twenty-sixth amendment.
This is actually a very good question.
I'm not sure what the requirements are in Washington State, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were a progressive push to empower "undocumented citizens."
............as if she’s doing something courageous or would actually impact the final outcome of the election!
Cankles won the vote in Washington state, did she not pay attention to that fact? What an idiotic, typical Democrat MAROON.
These people are nuts.
Please...it’s not going to hurt Trump since he lost that state anyways.
And how does a Snowflake 19 year old teen become an elector?
You are a Democrat, supposed to cast your Electoral vote for Hillary Clinton...but, because you don't like Trump you're going to vote "Alternative Republican", if that's his real name, stealing the vote from Hillary Clinton?
Right?
BEST DAMN ELECTION EVER!
So Hillary is only going to have 225 electoral votes. This hurts Trump how? And how the hell did Washington decide to make a 19 year old an elector?
There’s a 19 year old female state representative in Maryland or some such.
“apparently this is the only 19 year old female without a photo on the internet and no background.’

The Facebook page is down for someone with that name in Moses Lake, WA & who attends Big Bend Community College.
Does this story qualify as “Fake News” if this teeny-bopper is actually a Hillary elector?
Yeah, but that doesn’t make a lick of sense. If the elector was protesting corrupt Hillary, then I could understand. But the MSM is reporting this as if there is a Trump defection and nothing is further fro the truth. FAKE NEWS
Washington State Presidential Election
Hillary Clinton 1,742,718 54.3% Donald J. Trump 1,221,747 38.07%
One mixed-up 19-year-old girl, whose problems started when her parents gave her a boy’s name. Levi was the third son of Jacob.
Why isn’t Jill Stein demanding a recount in Washington State? With numbers so close, you have to wonder about Russian hackers...and they are a lot closer to Russia than Michigan or Pennsylvania is. Less than 521,000 votes separate the top two candidates.
...to prevent Donald Trump being formally enshrined....

Enshrined? Idiot “journalist”.
A 19-year old is going to throw away $1000 just so they can make a statement as a faithless elector? What’s that supposed to prove? Well, good luck with that.
WA’s electors are pledged to Hillary.
She won the state.
“Instead of following the electoral college norm of voting for Clinton, Guerra will cast what is in effect a protest vote directed at Trump – she will write in an “alternative Republican” of a more moderate political stripe than the president-elect as a way of highlighting her deep fears about his presidency in the hope of encouraging Republican electors in red states to follow suit.”
So let me get this right - under her logic, if she doesn’t vote for Hillary! as she is bound to, but votes for someone else, THAT is going to cause a Trump delegate not to vote for Trump.
M’kay.
All this coverage really is just delegitimization psyops.
