This is the 2nd elector from Texas to object. Art Sisneros of Dayton will be replaced when the Electors meet.

A Texas Republican elector is resigning over the election of Donald Trump, saying he cannot
“in good conscience” vote for the incoming president.

The elector, Art Sisneros of Dayton, detailed his decision in a blog post Saturday that said he
believed voting for Trump “would bring dishonor to God.” On Dec. 19, when the remaining 537
members of the Electoral College are scheduled to meet in state capitols across the country,
the Texas delegation will choose Sisneros’ replacement in Austin.

I love how many of the same people complaining that Hillary should be president because she won the popular vote are urging electors to ignore the popular vote in their states.

Not from Austin, but from Dallas:

http://americannewsx.com/hot-off-the-press/texas-elector-suprun-wont-vote-trump/

“...Suprun is the Republican elector representing Texas’ 30th congressional district. He was a firefighter at the twin towers on 9/11, and is a founding member of the NeverForget911 public charity.

Late in the evening of December 5th, just two weeks before the scheduled meeting of the Electoral College, he became the first official “faithless elector” to publicly break ranks with Trump. ...”

And the district is “safely Democrat” per this:

https://ballotpedia.org/Texas%27_30th_Congressional_District_election,_2016

In other words, he’s surrounded by loony libs.

That may explain his shift.

Also:

Look under Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District-3 Directors here:

Not a native Texan.

This guy is a lying, double talking disgrace to the fire department and EMTs. He cannot be trusted, his word means nothing and his reputation is lower than the ocean floor. I hope Texans put so much pressure on him that he migrates to California or NY where he belongs.

So this guy fought fires at the Twin Towers? Beau Berghdal fought the Taliban before he went over to the enemy. Your past doesn’t mean you are a good guy now. Your actions are far more important. This so called fire fighter’s word is worthless and a man without his word has nothing.
