Pressure on members of the country’s electoral college to select someone other than Donald Trump has grown dramatically — and noisily — in recent weeks, causing some to waver, but yielding little evidence Trump will fall short when electors convene in most state capitals Monday to cast their votes.
Carole Joyce of Arizona expected her role as a GOP elector to be pretty simple: She would meet the others in Phoenix and carry out a vote for Trump, who won the most votes in her state and whom she personally supported.
But then came the mail and the emails and the phone calls — first hundreds, then thousands of voters worrying Trump’s impulsive nature would lead the country into another war.
“Honestly, it had an impact,” said Joyce, a 72-year-old Republican state committeewoman. “I’ve seen enough funerals. I’m tired of hearing bagpipes. . . . But I signed a loyalty pledge. And that matters.”

Full title: In last-shot bid, thousands urge electoral college to block Trump at Monday vote
They mean the same 20 people sending out emails from fake email addresses, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.
It’s Van Jones PR firm and Soros money.....fools.
Stupid is as stupid does.
We may have dodged a second civil war for now. I pray that President Trump will do his job well, roll back the losses to big government, and push the risk of that war further into the future.
Imagine the depression that will come for the snowflakes on Monday. I’d live it if a few Hillary electors switched to Trump. I know it’s too much to ask for but asking is free.
Van Jones who is married to Jimmuh Carter’s niece. Billy’s daughter. Who knew?
And it is only going to get worse until there are riots in the streets when the next time a DemocRat loses the presidency.
It’s time to indict and arrest EVERYONE at the neo-fascist WP for treason. All of them. Every single one of these treasonous neo-Nazi scumbags.
It’s not a waste of time. It instills hatred of them for us and us for them.

Grow TF Up. Enjoy the sound of snowflakes melting. This is America, not the pussy cat Europe.
Retards have ruled us for too long.
The Wahhhington Post, a bizarre rabid anti-Trump newspaper filled with Fake News daily, could only come up with this weak take on the Hamilton Electors and the attempt to overthrow the election.
I feel quite secure about what will happen Monday. :)
No kidding? wow.
So we get all sorts of “news” on these “last minute appeals”
But virtually nothing on the threats and the names of those and the prosecution thereof
Soap box, ballot box, ..do they really want us to open the last box?
Sedition, treason. Hang em high!
LOL what morons..Trump already WON get over it liberal loons..don’t like it, fine, move to Venezuela or Cuba..come on I dare ya..move there for one week and see how long you last in the Commie Utopia you want for America
This is a perfect example of a corrupt media apparatus attempting to inflate a narrative of their own creation.
Its falling flat so they are attempting to create an even more urgent crisis out of it.
Delegitimizing a national election and disenfranchising millions of voters by encouraging a small group of people to nullify the result will lead to a civil war.
The media is truly insane to be fanning flames such as this.
