A teenager from Washington state has become the seventh person to indicate that she will break ranks with party affiliation and become a faithless elector in an attempt to prevent Donald Trump being formally enshrined as president-elect when the electoral college meets on 19 December.
Levi Guerra, 19, from Vancouver, Washington, is set to announce that she is joining the ranks of the so-called Hamilton electors at a press conference at the state capitol in Olympia on Wednesday.
The renegade group believes it is the responsibility of the 538 electors who make up the electoral college to show moral courage in preventing demagogues and other threats to the nation from gaining the keys to the White House, as the founding fathers intended....

Maybe this “snowflake” didn’t even know who won Washington State......
If she’s from Washington State, she’s a democratic elector, She doesn’t want to vote for Hillary as she is ethically bound to do, to somehow protest Trump let her.. not going to change the outcome....
Stupid is as stupid does...
You go right ahead.
Why would the Democrats in Washington appoint a 19year old girl as an elector? I’ve been involved in voting for the Republican elector nominee from my congressional district 3 times. Personally, I wouldn’t vote for anyone under 50 for that position.
Hello I know that!
The Hellary/Rats carried Washington State!
The Rats pick the elector slate, no GOP’er of any flavor need apply!
She’s a lady wrestler.. best as I can tell from Google..
Exactly....
A democratic bound elector, can decide not to vote for Hillary, as they are ethically bound to do, if they want to protest Trump, but they have absolutely no bearing on Trump winning, because they were never going to vote for Trump in the first place... just more examples of the fact that modern “liberalism” and leftist ideologies are basically based in childish world views.
If she said she was voting for Bernie, it's not news, but since she mentioned Trump's name it's news. The uniformed Dems will cheer for her. The Republicans will scratch their heads.
What better way to get your name in the news.
The article says this elector will vote for a moderate Republican instead of Donald Trump — notwithstanding the fact that she is pledged to Hillary Clinton.
It would be funny if their protest resulted in Hillary Clinton officially winning even fewer electoral votes.
Yeah, keep it up lefties. You want to see chaos, you just pull the trigger on THAT one and see what happens...
It’s a state issue & “faithless elector” laws have never been tested constitutionally.
I have four daughters. They are all grown women now, women I am proud of.
But I can say with all honesty there is no dumber dumb in all the world than a nineteen year old girl.
Uh, Sweetheart, you’re supposed to be voting for Hillary. How is refusing to do that going to help her get elected?
Whistling Dixie would be an act of uncommon patriotism.
Well there goes any hope she had in a career in politics.
“Enshrined”?
Instead of voting for Crooked Hillary, she’s going to vote for a Republican other than Trump.
It’s a meaningless temper tantrum.
Looking all over, apparently this is the only 19 year old female without a photo on the internet and no background. Is this a dreamer? How did a 19 year old get entrusted with this?
A 19 year old lecturing us. Obnoxious.
“It would be funny if their protest resulted in Hillary Clinton officially winning even fewer electoral votes.”

It would have to detract at least her vote from Hillary, I would think. And it puts one more vote on the Republican column, even if not for Trump. Cutting off her nose to spite her face.
