Whaddaya know? More fake news from Big Media!
Breathless talking points for the media and Hillary loser supporters on social media...not going to happen. Think Cruz campaign “wrangling” delegates before the Republican Convention.
Democrats aren’t going to vote for Trump? #fakenews
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?
Screw tradition, huh?
much less the will of the people of that state.
nothing new for some in the party of commies
When Burr told Hamilton to shut-up, he should have listened.
And they were wondering g if trump would accept the results.
Like the guy from NJ who didn’t vote because he didn’t think Trump would win... if he just would have cast his vote...
Then why are these people part of the process? They should be kicked out!
Why is this even being reported? These are Clinton electors
These people are either ignorant or delusional. Possibly both.
The Congress, firmly in the hands of the Republicans, can reject any faithless elector’s votes....................
Who cares? Its Dems not voting for Hillary? Huh?
I don't follow. How will Hillary electors from Colorado and Washington State (both states that went for Hillary) not voting for Hillary "narrow Donald Trump's margin-of-victory in the Electoral College"? Don't they teach arithmetic in school any more? Or have the Democrats all been on a bender for the last 2 weeks?
The story falsely claims that electors have vowed to oppose Trump, going against the popular vote in their states.
Nope.
Not one of the six "faithless" electors is the least bit faithless, not a single one is a Republican, and not a single one is going against the popular vote in their state, as the original article in Politico makes clear: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/democrats-electoral-college-faithless-trump-231731
Politico, also a fake news site, should ask the Fake Daily News to take down the story that attributes Politico as a "source."
What are we coming to as a country when fake news sources are even faking their own fake sources?
Actually, nothing. Leftwing news sources have always been fake.
Why the 2016 Election Proves America Needs the Electoral College

In the last week since Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in a stunning electoral blowout, there have been calls from many on the left to abolish America’s unique presidential election system.
It still hasn’t been settled whether Trump or Clinton won the popular vote, but many Democrats are upset about the possibility that their candidate may have won more total votes, yet lost the election.
Progressives are taking aim at the Electoral College and want to replace it with a national popular vote. This would both remove the indirect mediation of the electors’ votes, and more damagingly, eliminate the power of states in choosing a president.
You can read my pre-election explanation of how the Electoral College works and why the Founding Fathers created it here. The 2016 presidential election is a perfect illustration of why America needs to keep this institution in place, regardless of whether one supported the winner or the loser in 2016.
The War on the Electoral College
A number of prominent people have called for abolishing the Electoral College, including President Barack Obama’s former attorney general Eric Holder, and former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis. And some of the media’s charges against the Electoral College have been hyperbolic.
One liberal professor called the Electoral College a “peculiar institution” and likened it to defending slavery, others simply labeled it racist, and one Slate writer denounced it as an “instrument of white supremacy—and sexism.”
