Any member of the Electoral College who wants to vote against Donald Trump but would violate state law by doing so has the support of a Harvard University law professor and a California-based law firm.
Larry Lessig has started "The Electors Trust" in order to give free counsel to electors through the firm Durie Tangri. Lessig said his group will also give electors guaranteed anonymity so they can determine if there are enough electors set on keeping Trump from winning the presidency. "It makes no sense to be elector number five who comes out against Trump," Lessig told Politico. "But it might make sense to be elector 38."
A group of at least eight Democratic electors from Colorado and Washington have started an effort of their own, called the "Hamilton Electors," to lobby Republican electors to ditch Trump in favor of another GOP candidate. Because Trump has 306 electoral votes, they are trying to flip at least 37 Republicans, and the Hamilton Electors hinted Monday they would likely choose Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) as the alternative to Trump. One Republican elector, Chris Suprun of Texas, went on the record Monday, writing in The New York Times that he will not vote for Trump when the members cast the official vote on Dec. 19. If the electors are able to block Trump's election, it would be sent to the House of Representatives.
Wait, what about respecting the sanctity of election results? /sarc
They’re playing with fire.

So true.
And if they play with fire, they’re going to get burned.
We'll have to teach the Leftwing Extremists of the Alt Left a NEW term: "Sore winners".
That would be us despicable Deplorables.
They don't want to find out what "sore winners" we can be...
When is this recount going to be over. Or is it just one endless recount until Trump is sworn in?

Where are the lawyers to protect Trump’s supporters from being disenfranchised?
Конечно, Никoлaи Хель! 😀
Littera Perquam Adumbrata Relativa
I keep my lawyers upstairs in them green metal boxes.
Governments created and administer and control the entire judicial system. Both criminal laws and civil laws are under the complete purview of government. Why isn't there national legal care to allocate suitable legal services to every American, regardless of their ability to pay or any pre-existing legal condition?
Even as the government had less control over private medical care, they forced themselves into control over the entire system. It just seems like since the government is in complete control of everything legal, there should be some movement on making lawsuits safe, affordable and rare.
Ever heard of Legal Shield?
I would hope that it would be their absolute worst nightmare if they steal this election. I am including all the enablers of such corruption too. Overthrowing our government is an act of war.
Ya know...*some* of us don’t sing Gregorian chants from memory.
Little help?
