There is some question whether a 'faithless elector' could be fired from his/her job by the time of the Congressional certification in January, I don't think it has been done in many cases..

I may support Dean for head of the DNC. Where can I contribute? This may be a worthwhile cause for us to undertake.
I love the magnitude of this meltdown!!

American Blacks sink further. With leaders like Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, etc. they cannot go much lower then they are. They have no political power whatsoever in Washington, DC. The Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP have lost all power and are just simply social meeting clubs for extreme left-wingers. Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the USA and have seized real political power with their diverse voting patterns. Asians are not far behind. I really wonder if American Blacks will ever wake up. I guess they like remaining at the bottom of the political and economic totem pole the Democrat "traitor" Party has chained them to. Yes, slavery is alive and well in Black America and in the Democrat Party. These folks have shot themselves in the foot and continue to do so big time. What fools!!!

The West Virgina guy may pay his $500 fine and let his vote stand according to the National Archives C-SPAN guy, so I don't think the state law has the power to make him change his Elecoral College vote.

The Whigs - lol!
My check is in the mail. Of course, it's not a real check. Liberals hate people who work and earn money so I sent in something he would identify instantly. I sent in some leaves - I'm sure he can redeem them at the nearest Green Party HQ for money.

"Any chance that an elector may vote differently than the state?"
There is an elector in North Dakota who is a member of the Constitution Party and who HATES Bush. It's very possible that their will go to someone else. I hope not not, but you heard it here first.

I'm going somewhere to watch this - it's just too good!! Ping you later today.
