One of Michigan’s 16 electors who will be called upon to cast a vote validating the election of Donald Trump in the Electoral College has testified on video that he and others in the state are receiving “dozens and dozens of death threats” from Hillary Clinton supporters urging them to switch their votes to Clinton.
On Dec. 19 the Electoral College will convene to cast their votes for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, with each state’s electors pledged to vote for the candidate elected on Nov. 8 in their state.
But more than a dozen states have no laws making it illegal for the electors to change their vote while others have only a minor penalty such as a fine for doing so. If Clinton’s supporters can get enough of the 163 electors from states where Trump both won and votes can be legally switched on Dec. 19, Hillary Clinton becomes the next president of the United States.
Michael Banerian, 22, of Oakland County, Michigan, is one of that state’s 16 official electors who will meet in the state capital of Lansing on Dec. 19 to cast their votes for Trump. He told the Detroit News Thursday he has received threatening emails, lots of them, from people telling him to vote for Democrat Clinton instead of the GOP victor he is pledged to support. Trump won Michigan’s popular vote and should be able to count on the 16 electoral votes in that state.
But Clinton supporters have “deluged Banerian and other GOP electors with pleas and nasty emails to reverse course and cast their ballots for Clinton,” the Michigan Republican Party is reporting.

Has Hillary been woken up even once, and asked to “disavow” these death threats?
Better not happen...They won’t like the result....
That’s the left. Hate filled wackos.
Well it’s nothing but the usual trolls and cranks.
No one is going to commit murder. Like what is that going to accomplish?
Still a scary and obnoxious thing.
The electors should accept no calls from numbers that they do not recognize. That way they cannot be intimidated.
Moonbats’ threats will boomerang on them.
GOP electors don’t like being told for whom to vote.
Liberals have never learned the advice about making friends.
Love Trumps Hate.
Pray America woke
Should be prosecuted as a hate crime. (dream on)
Yep, *60 is your friend if thuggish cranks have you on their radar.
The MSM can’t stop their drumbeat demanding Trump disavow white supremacists, but not a peep about the `rats and their telephone Brown Shirts.
Nothing like death threats to make an elector feel all warm and fuzzy about Hillary.
I disagree. Terrorist threats, perhaps combined with a sedition issue, as the motivation is overthrow of the legitimately elected government.
It looks like patriots may soon need to defend the republic.
Don’t underestimate left-wing moonbats and violence. They won’t change the outcome, but some of them are certainly capable of murder.
Exterminate the threators. Track them down and off with their heads for crimes against the Republic.
You know congress could count votes for Trump if they feel that they were cast under duress for Hillary
where MSM ( Wolf, Shep, etc...) begging Hillary to emphatically disavow the threats and ask her supporters to stop the threats ?
Where’s the FBI on this? Those making the threats should be jailed.
#Electorialvotersmatter...Hillary, Obama and Dems leaders say something about it...are you supporting it?
