I just finished a highly unusual telephone conversation with Baoky Vu, a naturalized U.S. citizen and longtime GOP activist in Georgia.
Vu will be on the November ballot as an elector – a constitutionally mandated stand-in for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Should Trump take Georgia, Vu will be one of 16 Georgia members of the electoral college who will formally decide the U.S. presidential contest.
Vu has just put out a statement saying that he cannot bring himself to vote for Trump in the November general election. And he might not vote for Trump as a member of the electoral college, either.
Georgia is one of 21 states that do not require its members of the electoral college to adhere to the results of the popular vote in their state. “I have the right to vote for a write-in candidate in the electoral college,” Vu said.
Vu is a Decatur resident and serves on the governing board of the Technical College System of Georgia, and is vice chair of the DeKalb County Board of Voter Registration and Elections.
Vu and his family left Vietnam prior to the fall of Saigon in 1975. After two years in Australia, the family moved to the United States, eventually settling in Georgia.
Last month, Vu accompanied his wife, an alternate delegate for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Vu said he has never been “on board” with Trump, but the Republican presidential candidate’s feud with a Muslim family who lost their soldier-son in Iraq was the final straw. Vu harkened back to his family’s decision to flee communist rule in Vientam.
“We hungered for the right to vote. I’m not going to throw that away,” Vu said

I agree! They are squirming ...like all worms.
See they are afraid because the purge has begun in earnest.
Uniparty doesn’t want to lose their cushy jobs and power.
Already posted.
Then he should step down.
If he can’t do his duty, he is unfit to serve.
He has tipped his hand, he is not fit to serve.
Replace him. NOW!
Vu needs to resign his position as an elector now or others will need to persuade him to resign.
So, you would deny the right to vote for all of those who put you in place as an EC rep? Just like the POS country you fled.
Attention whore 13 year old girl.
So he and his family were bugging out for the land of plenty while many of us here on Free Republic were still in his country fighting and dying for THEM? He needs to go back home and try to make something of the crap hole he came from!
March on the Governors mansion! Freeper party!
He needs to do something. That’s for sure.
This certainly isn’t working for him.
Zell bump for later.....
get these rinos out
I am damn sick and tired of this BS by non natural born Americans. Gold star parent, son, daughter, brother whatever does not give anyone the right to pull the crap Khan did.
And like all people the democrats use for their benefit, they are not exactly who they claim to be.
I don’t think any of the people we had speak had to go delete their business web site, or has a law practice bringing in muslims, or had written papers saying the us constitution needs to be under sharia law.
This guy isn’t going to defy the will of the voters. Big talk from a little man.
This is not without historical precedent. In 1972, an elector from VA, cast his electoral votes for the Libertarian candidates, John Hospers and Tonie Nathan, instead of Richard Nixon. As a result Nathan became the first woman in our history to receive an electoral vote. MacBride went on to become the Libertarian nominee for President in 1976.
Kick the little prick OUT!
And then do it AGAIN, so it’ll feel like ‘Deja Vu’ for him!
