The only "faithless elector" is a Hillary Clinton one from the state of Washington. All this breathless hype from the media, and that's the result.
You didn’t vote for Trump. You voted for a slate of electors who pledged to vote for Trump.
Your stupid, idiot, low-information neighbor didn’t vote for Hildebeeste. It voted for a slate of electors who pledged to vote for Hildebeeste.
One of those two slates of electors was elected to the Electoral College. The other went home.
I think you follow just fine. LOL They are preaching their fantasies in hopes of creating doom and gloom.
I am old, not in great health, but more than willing to fight. And also despite the foregoing, not exactly useless. So my position is bring it punks so my nephews don’t have to.
But it won’t happen. The process will proceed as expected.
So what would happen if say Johnson won a particular state? Did they also have a slate of electors?
How was your DC trip?
What goes around comes around, libs. So if there is ever another Democrat elected in this country, just be aware that the same strategy can be used against you.
Your weird, paranoid nutcase neighbor didn’t vote for Johnson Weld, (s)he (it’s hard to tell) voted for a slate of electors pledged to vote for Johnson Weld. Had Johnson Weld won your State, that slate of electors would have been advanced to the Electoral College. Voters in 5 States elected electors for George Wallace in 1968.
If they do not vote for the person they were supposed to, and if that causes the decision to fall to the House, the House Republicans [Republican Party] can nullify those votes. Thus, the 270 would likely be revised to exclude the same number of ‘rebellious votes’.
That happened to a FL delegate [IIRC] several elections ago. He would not cast his vote for the intended person, and his vote got nullified by the party.
Regardless, Donald J. Trump is the next president.
I don't know, could be a lesbian with a butch haircut.
“At least six electors — members of the Electoral College whose votes actually elect the President — have vowed to cast ballots that don’t align with the popular vote results of their states, Politico reported Tuesday. “
Um, isnt that how it usually works?
And I was so hoping those Trump electors in California would stay with him! /s
OK, I understand now. Thank you for the education. It’s nice to have clarity.
Sort of ...
He is obligated to vote for hrc BUT says he wants to vote for a moderate Republican.
“I’m ashamed to have Jewish blood when I see a waste of space like this moron.”
Then watch the Latma rap piece “I’m an Israeli soldier, proud to be” on youtube. It’ll restore your faith, trust me.
Democrats can vote for whoever it won’t sway Jack.
You would need 37 committed republican electors to vote for Hillary and every democrat elector to vote Hillary as well to have a win change...
Not going to happen.
In the entire history of the US I think 30 electors total have gone rogue... Thinking you will get 37 in one election is dillusional.
Burr got tired of Hamilton kicking his ass and ending his political career. Hamilton had been saying the same things about Burr for at least 15 yrs.
The guy from Washington state said before the election that she would not get his vote.
Beta? I don’t think he’s any more than epsilon, possibly delta.
