‘”It would only take 38 electors to change their votes and Hillary becomes President.’

Even if they could pull that off which I put the odds at about 1000 to 1 it would have to get past challenges in the Republican House of Representatives on January 6th. The whole attempt is an exercise in futility.

So what you are saying is that the votes of faithless electors can be discarded by the House and Senate, still leaving Trump with a majority.

Both houses have to agree to the objection, so I wouldn't put it past Graham or McCain to vote with the Dems.

I don't think it's going to happen, but it's a little frightening to see how the mechanics of Electoral College actually works.

1000 to 1 is generous. Getting 30ish to change their vote should put the odds into the billions.

39 electors would have to switch, to elect Hillary. 38 would lead to a TIE, and so the presidential election would go to the current House of Representatives, which would elect TRUMP!
