In that case, aren’t they Hillary delegates? And if so, aren’t we expecting them to vote for Hillary instead of Trump anyway? And how would that narrow Trump’s victory?

Stop trying to confuse the Liberal Media with facts. [/sarc]

I don’t understand why we have to involve humans at all in this. Each state has a number of electoral votes the candidate receives when he wins that state. Why do we need someone to actually cast an electoral vote? What protection does this offer?

Typical LIB media distortion and idiocy. I laugh at these integrity-free “journalists”. They are an embarrassment to the First Amendment and to sanity. Losers.

The House can object and the elector can be delete.

Bret Chiafalo (D-Washington) supports Sanders.

Robert Satiacum (D-Washington) is another Sanders supporter.

1 Washington state Democratic elector won’t support Clinton, another won’t commit (Seattle Times, Nov 4).

Michael Baca (R) represents Colorado which went for Hillary so his vote won't be counted anyway.

“The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as the last line of defense

Well... actually the last line of defense the Founding Fathers gave us is the Second Amendment. Thank you Founding Fathers. Thank you very much. With dolts like this elector becoming more and more common it looks like he may be seeing the actual "last line of defense" in action one day soon.

How long is the Times going to pretend that the Michigan site doesn’t show Trump won their electors on 11/10/2016?

Lol. So there was a possibility that they might have voted for Trump?

“So far, as near as I can tell, not one Donald Trump elector has defected. 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.”

Thanks for clearing this up. Trump knows that he has not been officially elected President yet, and is playing it really cool until that day (other than showing his hand to us a bit with Sessions and Bannon).

As far as electors go, what’s happening, from what I read elsewhere, is that some of Hillary’s electors aren’t going to cast a futile vote for that beast on the hope they can ‘set a precedent’ to peel off some of the Trump electors. As I understand it, only one of Trump’s electors has waivered (a clown from Austin, and that was reported months ago), and that’s it so far - and Trump refuses to give them any new reason to waiver...so Trump is carefully gliding in to the big job.

Tell the libs you interact with that THIS election more than any other PROVES the singular value of the EC in preserving the Constitutional Republic.

That will p*$$ them off.

Next stop is repealing the 17th Amendment, and having the Senators elected by the State legislatures as intended by the FFs.

I can not fathom how the progressives got that Amendment passed. It gutted the Senate. It has almost, by itself, destroyed the country.

Proof is the host of maggots like Reid, Boxer, Schumer, etc., who infest the Senate, the "World's Greatest Deliberative Body." Loathsome creatures all.

States have to settle any controversy over Electors by December 13, so the Times can pretend until then.

Let's throw in the 16th Amendment for good measure.

The Daily News reporter is repeating a tale told 5 days before by Patricia Ramirez at Inquisitr.

Baca is a Democrat from Colorado, a state Hillary won. Chiafalo is from Washington state, which Hillary also won.

They don't even bother to get anywhere near truth any more.

Full-on propaganda.
