I guess the suit is the constitution is unconstitutional.

They are tiring to take away a state’s right to control its electors.

As long as they are all Democrat electors it is of no consequence, they weren’t voting for Trump anyway.

A Rat Kali elector who objects to Trump? LoL.

They hope then convince enough other Democrat and Republican electors to vote for someone like Romney or Kasich.

These Clinton electors are looking to cast their votes for a third candidate (a Republican), while at the same time pushing enough Trump electors to do the same thing so that Trump doesn’t get 270 electoral votes. If he doesn’t get 270, then the election goes to the House under the terms of the 12th Amendment.

So I guess Trump won’t be getting any Dem crossover votes?
I’m deeply saddened.

It is intended to provide some sort of moral sanction for electors to break their promises. Stupid, but typical.

This is the reason why. Once they establish as a matter of law, the ability of electors to ignore states wishes, that makes the electors subject to bribery and blackmail.

So using this rationale, why didn’t Republicans sue to stop Clinton, Obama, etc...They would have been laughed and mocked. This is absolutely ridiculous. But these commie, scumbag press louts keep huffing and puffing and trying to blow the house down.
If any of this succeeds, we no longer have a country. If only one side is allowed to win we need to make other arrangements, because we are a light tyranny version of the USSR.

Their goal is to toss the election into the House, where the House has to choose between the top three vote getters. They'll vote for some RINO to be the third-place finisher in the hopes the House will elect that person.
Fat chance of that happening, as they also would have to peel off at least 37 Trump electors.
