Electors around the country are being harassed with a barrage of emails, phone calls and letters — and even death threats — in an effort to block Donald Trump from being voted in as president by the Electoral College on Monday.
The bullying is overwhelming Sharon Geise’s tech devices, but not her resolve to support Trump.
The Mesa, Arizona, grandmother woke up Wednesday morning to more than 1,500 emails demanding she not carry out her legal duty to vote for the president-elect.
“They just keep coming and coming,” Geise told The Post, estimating she’s received more than 50,000 emails since the election. “They’re overpowering my iPad.”
Her answer: mass delete.
Despite the avalanche, she said, her decision to back Trump is stronger than ever.
“Obviously their minds are made up and they’re not going to change. I’m not either,” the soft-spoken Geise said.
Reports of GOP electors being badgered have been reported in numerous states, including Georgia, Idaho, Tennessee, Arizona, Utah and Michigan.
Like Geise, Republican Patricia Allen of Tennessee told The Post she’s been bombarded with 2,000 emails, 120 letters and five phone calls all urging her to switch and vote against Trump. But Allen, 74, said that despite the “siege,” she’s not budging.
“This has never happened before … Do you know how long it takes to delete all those emails every day?” she asked.
She’s also been solicited by a Harvard University group backed by constitutional law Prof. Lawrence Lessig, who has offered free legal aid to electors who change their vote.
“That borders on bribery,” said Allen. “Carried to this extreme, the day might come when an elector could be sold to the highest bidder.”
Lessig claims that 20 GOP electors are considering voting against Trump.

Time to arrest these thugs for making terroristic threats at our Electors.
There are going to be investigations, arrests and prosecutions.
Starting January 21, 2017.
This is real 1930’s stuff.
This is ONE BILLION TIMES WORSE than Russians hacking DNC emails And the media is TREASONOUS for not saying so.
Where is Trump on this? We need him.
Where’s Lynch and her DOJ?
Threats against members of the Electoral College are probably a federal crime. I am confident that Obama’s “Justice” Department is doing everything in response that we expect from Barack Hussein’s followers. I hope President Trump’s Justice Department will also do everything we expect. I’d like to see all terrorists in prison, and attempting to accomplish political goals through violence or the threat of violence is terrorism.
Actually, this is funny - Democrats are making enemies and not friends.
I hope they keep it up. Their moonbattery isn’t hurting Trump; its backfiring on them.
Nothing like sore losers trying to bully people into reversing reality.
Where are all the boo hoo types who decry cyberbullying when it applies to gays? Why aren’t they decrying this cyberbullying?
Lynch refuses to do anything about them. Sessions will hit them with both barrels.
This threatening of (Republican) electors is domestic terrorism and those who are doing it should be dealt with as terrorists, including the use of deadly force at the slightest hint of violence against the electors by these left-wing (demonicrat) terrorists.
Hillary must be pressured by ‘foundation contributors’ to DELIVER...or else, return their money!
One can only assume DemWits, Obummer, DOJ and AG Lynch are OK and approving of these threatened lynchings against electors.
The very politicized Justice Department might not be doing anything but these are state electors....where are these states in protecting their electors as it is their votes and voters that are being compromised???????
I hope you are right. These people need to be put in prison.
But, I strongly suspect Trump will pull an “Abraham Lincoln,” and give everyone pardons.
The union thugs are scared. They tried the same stuff against Walker and the legislature in Wisconsin. And lost. Repeatedly.
bow wow!
