Texas Elector Says Democrats Trying to Sway His Vote [MI Elector gets death threat]
KXAS ^ | 11/17/16 | Kris Gutierrez

The presidential election isn't officially over until the electoral votes are cast in mid-December, and that includes the 38 votes from Texas.

The 38 Texans who will vote are all Republicans, because Donald Trump won Texas, but they don't have to vote for Trump.

In Texas, unlike some other states, electors may change their mind, and it has Democrats from around the country urging them to do just that, said Alex Kim, an elector for Texas' 24th Congressional District.

"At first everyone was kinda enchanted by it," Kim said. "Now all the electors are starting to get beaten down. There are some electors who have been threatened with harm or with death."

It’s getting close to the time we’re going to have to dust off the Second Amendment. The commie and Nazi behavior in this country is getting way out of hand.

“sway” coerce, intimidate, etc. Where is the FEC to investigate the Communists and Democrats who are engaging in voter intimidation, suppression, and threats of violence?

And these SOBs have the cajoles to call us fascist!?!?!

We need to keep our powder dry until Mr. Trump is sworn in (and, unfortunately, probably after he is sworn in too.). These left wing malcontents have had a nice holiday under Obama. That’s over now.

This is kind of like threatening or blackmailing a juror.

Exactly what I thought when I read this headline. These idiots ought to just go ahead and gather whatever arms they have, assemble and let’s get at it. The crap they are trying to pull is treason, or espionage and is a serious crime in most every country in the world. It’s time someone showed them how serious it is...

This is a coup d’etat attempt. Instead of fringe lunatic liberals attempting to get the military to overthrow a government, they are attempting to do it another way. I, for one, will not tolerate that under any circumstances.

The FBI ought to be investigating these people for making terrorist threats.

The past 8 years (Obama and cult) have been training them for this time.

They have gone completely nuts, like the left wanted them to do.

What do you suppose he means by beaten down?
Trump could have nipped this popular vote stuff in the bud by pointing out the illegal/fraudulent Voting.

Another thing: If they keep Trump from getting the 270 it goes to the House so we could end up within an establishment pick after all. The electors are party loyalists so while it seems unlikely l don’t have much trust for the GOP Heads. I for one won’t rest easy until Dec 19th.
