They just can’t stop the lies - these are all Hillary electors. Won’t impact Trump’s tally one bit.

Trump didn’t carry Washington State so how is this a “faithless” elector?

Isn’t it great living in a country where the law is completely subject to the whims of men - and teenage girls?

I heard that any electors who throw their votes could be prosecuted under the 1964 Voter Rights Act.

In my experience, failing to vote for your preferred candidate rarely advances their cause. But who knows, maybe she has a secret plan.

Fake News??? Washington State awarded all their Electoral votes to sHrillary. So, what, this berk was never pledged to DJT - he's not going to cast his vote for her?

"I'm not going to do what I never was going to do nor were required to do. I just wanted you to know." WTF?

The State of Washington went to Hillary; he can't be faithless.

Just another screwed up blog posting.

Trump didn’t win Washington, so her play for 15 minutes of fame falls rather flat. She can vote for whomever she wants, not vote at all, or stand on her head and whistle Dixie, a rather meaningless exercise.

A faithless elector simply means an elector who casts a vote against the candidate he or she is pledged to.

“Levi Guerra, 19, from Vancouver, Washington”

Wonder is she’s even a US citizen, if she’s is a “dreamer” or what.

Obviously not based on her knowledge of how elections run. She was “elected” to vote for Clinton. Her vote should still be for Clinton. But - she can be “faithless”. I’m not sure what the penalty will be. Most of the electors are big-wigs in the party, and will vote how they are supposed to if they want to keep their place of prominence in the party.
