'Rogue' GOP Elector Says Others Will Join in Opposing Trump

Meet one of the real 538 electors, Christopher Suprun a Republican from Texas. Suprun has decided to vote for someone other than Donald Trump when he casts his electoral college vote later this month. He believes other electors are right there with him.

"At this point there are people who have reached out to me. Again it wouldn’t be my place to name who they are," he said, though he indicated he was talking about Republican electors.

"I am confident in saying, at this point," he continued,"I don’t think I will be the only one voting for someone other than Donald Trump who is carrying a Republican elector seat."

Suprun told Jonathan Karl and Rick Klein on the Powerhouse Politics Podcast that he is not sure which former candidate will earn the vote since his choice, Ohio Governor John Kasich, has said he is not interested....

would love to see texas voters bring a class action lawsuit against the p.o.s. for reneging on his signed pledge and thereby disenfranchising those who voted for him (technically you’re voting for the Electors, not Trump).

Tin foil hat time....Soros pays off 37 Electors to switch vote.

Doesn't really matter, the Republican Congress can just throw out any "unfaithful electors" if it comes to that (which it won't):

"Members of Congress can object to any state's electoral vote count, provided objection is presented in writing and is signed by at least one member of each house of Congress. An objection supported by at least one senator and one representative will be followed by the suspension of the joint session and by separate debates and votes in each House of Congress; after both Houses deliberate on the objection, the joint session is resumed. A state's certificate of vote can be rejected only if both Houses of Congress vote to accept the objection. In that case, the votes from the State in question are simply ignored. The votes of Arkansas and Louisiana were rejected in the presidential election of 1872."

Stop posting these stories. They will all be for naught and are only upsetting folks. They’re fake news, meant to instill anger in you.

This has been researched.

He can be removed by majority vote of the Texas Electors at the gathering. The criteria is him being ineligible, and one of the eligibility criteria is he must be a Republican.

The Texas GOP can remove him from the rolls the night before, document the proof, present it at the meeting. The majority vote could then remove him. A replacement can be just outside the room and can be voted on to fill the vacancy.

Then after the meeting he can be replaced on the GOP rolls. No harm done.

Somebody’s stirring the pot but this time it is also some democrats talking of switching.

Rogue electors brief Clinton camp on anti-Trump plan

At least eight Democratic electors are promising to defect from Clinton and support a
Republican alternative to Trump.

While Trump’s lawyers have been working to stymie the recounts, his campaign has
paid little attention to the Electoral College initiative. The same is true of the
Clinton camp. Clinton would need all three recounts to overturn the Election Day
results to get to 270 electoral votes — an extremely unlikely scenario.

Recounts aside, there’s little incentive for the Clinton camp to become involved with
the anti-Trump effort because it can result only in detracting from her electoral vote total. The only reason to engage at all would be to
support an effort to deny Trump an Electoral College majority.

The Democratic electors have already revealed that they’re close to a consensus pick for
whom they will vote: Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Some of the electors are so young and inexperienced you wonder who the hell picked them and if this was a fallback plan because most seem to be Hispanic...makes you wonder if we need to look at them a little closer. Maybe a check of their bank accounts might reveal some payoffs by leftist funded groups...

If I were a faithless elector, I would hate having to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life.
