Electoral College member from Texas might go rogue, says he's undecided
Houston Chronicle ^ | 11/17/16 | Carol Christian

Art Sisneros, one of 538 electors with the final say on who becomes the next U.S. president, says he's undecided on how to vote. The 40-year-old family man from Dayton is among the 38 people chosen to represent Texas in the Electoral College. That group will gather Dec. 19 in 50 state capitols around the country to vote on who wins the election. If all electors cast their votes in keeping with the winner of each state, then Donald Trump wins, even though Hillary Clinton received more popular votes overall.

If the electors revolt and vote in Hillary, I think we all know what time it is. About 60-100 million Americans will know what time it is, and Americans will act accordingly.

They won’t. It will never happen and remember there are two Washington State Electors that said they would never place votes for Clinton.

The 2nd amendment includes resistance to tyranny.

Now that this Electoral Voter has advertised himself as a Weak Link, there will be unrelenting pressure on him to change his vote. They will pursue him like a swarm of African Killer Bees. And why wouldn’t they?, these folks who don’t believe conservatives have a right to their opinion. He’s going to regret being so public about being wishy-washy.

A faithless elector should be arrested, tried, fined heavily and imprisoned for breach of the public trust. Period.

I’m sure voter fraud will become very interesting if that would. History shows us has only been a few people have done this.

Is he scheduled to go to Mars early next year? Otherwise his life could be a living hell if he follows through on this.

Hey, Art - that whole "abiding by the law" thingee?

You'd best hope that the Deplorables don't "lose interest" in that part of the system. :)

No elector has EVER voted for the other parties’ nominee.

Serious question, if someone publicly states this, why not just replace them now?

Is that possible?
