Maine elector switches Sanders vote to Clinton A Maine elector who attempted to cast his vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday switched his vote over to presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after his ballot was ruled invalid.

Elector David Bright's ballot for Sanders triggered a second vote, according to a local NBC affiliate, at which point he voted for Clinton.

To quote another poster here, dangus, "Clinton voters: even faithless at faithlessness."

lol

[Mr. K]

But if he was a Trump elector and voted for Clinton they would have allowed it.

guaranteed...

[David Bright]

He’s as reliable as Bernie.

I suggest he add for a middle name: “Not Too”.

Gonna have trouble showing his face around even the Bernie folks. Hope he cashed the check from Hillary before she runs out of funds.

[rhett october]

I agree.

Sounds like Soros has been giving carte blanc to his team of faithless
electors. I bet there are some enriched bank accounts today...

[Mr. Douglas]

lol

GRRRRRR! ! !

[just me]

Trump got one vote from Maine.

I’d put a lot of money on that.

They probably took him into the men’s room and had a chat.

Faith Spotted Eagle got a vote for President in WA State. The strangest group of people you could ever find. Vote took place with Indian feather pens after a five minute Indian flutist....the one beside the cross-dresser. Hilarious!!!

Maine splits it’s electoral votes by Congressional districts, as does Nebraska.

I live in CD2, which covers 80% of Maine. Trump won CD2, and received one electoral vote as a result.

[Mr. K]

The GOP in California should get together and get their laws changed to split their electoral votes by congressional districs too, the way Maine does.

it is insane to let 55 votes be controlled by 1% of the population along to coast ESPECUALLY when so many are ILLEGAL.

[Ciexyz]

Congrats to the Trump supporters of CD2 district of Maine. Every vote is important!

He was an original Hitlery elector, but attempted to defect to the disheartened Sanders voters who were first-time voters and saddened.

[Not A Snowbird]

Four of Hillary’s twelve electors defected in Washington state...

[Daniel Ramsey]

I saw that! Wish there were more, just to rub salt in the wounds.

Four WA state Cankles electors went with someone else. So she’s down 4.

[SaveFerris]

Ah; thanks.
