In my view, the state of Washington took a light view of national affairs in appointing these eight SJW nobodies as electors. They didn’t even pick serious SJW people. - jimtorr

the State of Washington didn’t appoint them, the Clinton campaign (Probably with input from the Wash. Dem Party) selected them to their slate of electors.

Article II Section 1:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress . . .

That section is referring to the process to select which slate of electors shall cast that states electoral votes.

Currently, the legislatures of each state have turned that process over to the people. The votes cast for President by he people of the several states are actually to choose which slate of electors gets to cast their votes.

In Washington, the Clinton campaign did a poor job of picking their slate of electors. Who were then selected by the people over Trump’s slate. The same goes for Texas on the GOP side. Trump’s campaign and the Texas GOP failed to properly vet their slate of electors and got two faithless electors for their trouble.
