Says Democrats are making her life hell over requirements.
The demrats make everyone’s life hell.
same thing they did to Palin...
Wimp. Stand by you convictions and commitments.
So? Someone else will replace her. They will vote for Trump. No big deal.
Either way - losers will lose and Trump gets confirmed.
Not Guilty!
This is my district and I know Christina. She lives close to me and my hubs is friends with her brother.
She works hard for her constituents. I actually did think that was the law here in Ohio but I’m not sure.
The plaintiffs may be right. If this is the case she is doing the right thing by resigning. I do hope there is a mechanism to replace her in time for the vote today.
She, unlike the Dim electors, did the right thing. It seems the lawsuit might have merit under Ohio law.
It will not affect the number of Trump electors in Ohio, and she remains as a GOP rep in the statehouse.
All of Louisiana’s electors just voted for Donald J Trump of New York!
Perhaps about 50 protestors at the event.
Ohio PING!!!
Article and comments
Please let me know if you want on or off the list.
One of our long term freepers The Mayor had a rogue prosecutor file charges against him for voting where the board of elections office TOLD HIM to vote.
If I have the history correct, The Mayor has lived in Grand Island his whole life, and has been a thorn in the side of the local democrats that whole time.
His business was there and he voted in the same place for years.
He TEMPORARILY was staying in Niagara Falls after his landlord evicted him in ANOTHER partisan sleaze move, but he still worked in GI and was in the process of setting up his new residence also on GI.
He ASKED the elections officials where he should vote, since he was registered in GI and was only temporarily staying overnight elsewhere (he still worked in GI every day) and they TOLD HIM to vote where he always voted. He did, and he only voted once.
A piece of crap prosecutor (a TEMPORARY one at that) filed FOUR FELONY charges against him. He was the only person ever to be charged with that crime since Susan B. Anthony. (He deserves to be in that company!)
They wanted him to plea bargain to one felony which had a possible 1 to 4 year sentence.
THIS IS WHAT KINDS OF PIECES OF CRAP run the government and if you get in their way, look out.
Even the local (liberal) newspaper said the charges should be dropped in the name of justice. (The POS prosecutor lost his election bid, by the way.)
Mayor let me know (here or PM) if I have revealed too much. I know you are not one to parade your issues in front of the whole world but you deserve justice and that prosecutor should be Nifong'ed.
So she steps down, they appoint an alternate, and Trump still gets all of the Ohio electoral votes.
For all those carrying signs today demanding “Respect My Vote”, I say this:
1. Your vote was respected. It was counted.
2. Stop trying to disrespect MY vote by every means imaginable... many of them illegal.
If her serving is prohibited by law, how is it bullying to have it pointed out? The word bullying is becoming to overused.
They are trying to scuttle the Electoral College through alternate means.
If nobody wants to serve as an elector, you can’t have an electoral college.
At the state convention of each major political party, persons shall be nominated as candidates for election as presidential electors to be voted for at the succeeding general election. The chairman and secretary thereof shall certify in writing to the secretary of state the names of all persons nominated at such convention as candidates for election as presidential electors. If a major political party does not hold a state convention, the executive committee of the state central committee shall nominate candidates for election as presidential electors to be voted for at the general election to be held that year. The chairman or secretary of the executive committee, or, in the absence of the chairman or secretary, a member of the committee designated by a majority of the other members of the committee, shall certify in writing to the secretary of state the names of all persons so nominated. A minor political party that has held a state or national convention for the purpose of choosing presidential candidates or that may, without a convention, certify those candidates in accordance with the procedure authorized by its party rules, shall certify the names of those candidates to the secretary of state. The certification shall be accompanied by a designation of a sufficient number of presidential electors to satisfy the requirements of law.
The secretary of state shall notify each presidential elector to attend, at a place in the state capitol which the secretary of state shall select, at twelve noon on the day designated by the congress of the United States, a meeting of the state's presidential electors for the purpose of discharging the duties enjoined on them by the constitution of the United States. Each such elector shall give notice to the secretary of state before nine a.m. of that day whether or not he will be present at the appointed hour ready to perform his duties as a presidential elector. If at twelve noon at the place selected by the secretary of state presidential electors equal in number to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may at the time be entitled in the congress of the United States, are not present, the presidential electors present shall immediately proceed, in the presence of the governor and secretary of state, to appoint by ballot such number of persons to serve as presidential electors so that the number of duly elected presidential electors present at such time and place plus the presidential electors so appointed shall be equal in number to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state is at that time entitled in the congress of the United States; provided, that each such appointment shall be made by a separate ballot, and that all appointments to fill vacancies existing because duly elected presidential electors are not present shall be made before other appointments are made, and that in making each such appointment the person appointed shall be of the same political party as the duly elected presidential elector whose absence requires such appointment to be made. In case of a tie vote the governor shall determine the results by lot. The electors making such appointments shall certify forthwith to the secretary of state the names of the persons so appointed and the secretary of state shall immediately issue to such appointees certificates of their appointment and notify them thereof. All of the state's presidential electors, both those duly elected who are then present and those appointed as herein provided, shall then meet and organize by electing one of their number as chairman and by designating the secretary of state as ex officio secretary and shall then and there discharge all of the duties enjoined upon presidential electors by the constitution and laws of the United States.
A presidential elector elected at a general election or appointed pursuant to section 3505.39 of the Revised Code shall, when discharging the duties enjoined upon him by the constitution or laws of the United States, cast his electoral vote for the nominees for president and vice-president of the political party which certified him to the secretary of state as a presidential elector pursuant to law.

Actually you have to click on the link that says:
Summary: State Laws Regarding Presidential Electors
Clicking on that link will then return a PDF document that lists by state name.
Bottom line, I see nothing that prohibits this person in this document in the part pertaining to Ohio, listed above.
Rules only apply to Republicans.
Is this hate crime?
