One rogue elector could create chaos in the Electoral College.
Robert Satiacum insists he will not cast his Washington State Electoral College ballot for Hillary Clinton, no matter who his state supports.
Satiacum, a Bernie Sanders delegate at the Democratic National Convention and a member of Washington’s Puyallup Tribe, says he believes Clinton is a “criminal” who doesn’t care enough about American Indians.

Anyone else think that this guy might be doing this to remind the Trump electors that they don’t have to vote for Trump?
I’m guessing that there are thousands more Democrat Party officials that despise the corrupt Clintons as much as anybody, but that TV “journalists” will make sure that their voices are never heard.
We’re gonna know their names. That should be deterrent enough.
Yes, it’s a slippery slope and gives cover to any Trump electors who could be compromised (bribed or blackmailed).
Hm? ...Interesting idea that I had not considered.
My guess is that if it is what makes or breaks the election, this guy will not survive to Dec. 19 and an alternate elector will step in.
i doubt that very much.
the guy is grandstanding for favor he can’t be counted on.
LOL - I thought this was about the student introducing Bernie who trashed Hillary.... my mistake.
Totally agree.
Good old Bob up to his usual tricks - he’s the one who started the Boldt Decision which resulted in the near total destruction of not only non-Indian commercial salmon fishermen in WA State but helped eliminate troublesome salmon runs from existence, while simultaneously enriching himself and his Puyallup cronies. He’s not what he seems. He doesn’t like Hillary because she reminds him of himself.
I think you are right. Hillary’s support by the democrat party is based upon a few loyal people in key positions of the party and a lot of fear of the political machine they built.
It won’t make a difference because I don’t see any scenario where Clinton winds up with exactly 270 electoral votes.
I’m just wondering what would happen if the electoral college all voted for Hillary despite Trump winning all of them.
Electoral College votes actually have to be accepted by Congress. Something as unprecedented as mass ‘faithless electors’ would almost certainly be met with unprecedented challenges to them by Congress.
The House might end up voting by state.
Yo, Bob. Boobie. It’s not the government’s or a President’s job to care for you.
+100 !
I live in Washington State and when I saw that name, I barfed a little in the back of my throat.
And if both Houses are predominately Democrat/Liberal?
