a group of Trump resisters is hoping to convince 37 Trump electors to vote for someone else on Monday, taking Trump just below the magic 270 mark. If that were to happen, Trump would not become president.
The hope is to create one of two scenarios. If rogue electors vote for candidates other than Hillary Clinton, who won 232 electoral votes on Election Day, then no candidate would have 270 and the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives. If the 37, plus one more, voted for Clinton, she would reach 270 and become president.
"This election is not in the books," said Chris Suprun, a Texas Republican elector who says he will not vote for Trump, at a news conference Sunday.

He needs to be repealed and replaced.
More criminal threatening and coercion? Yeah, that’s about right.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if a few California electors switched their votes from Hitlery to Trump instead. :)
BS! he Should Be Charged With TREASON!!!
No surprise irrelevant #Never Trumper York is hyping this fake news.
He is obviously a liberal. He believes his feelings and opinion are superior and therefore he can not be expected to perform his duty as agreed upon.
The Cleveland Browns have more hope of winning a Super Bowl this year.
I still say this quisling bastard looks a lot like Glenn Stabby The Clown Beck. Both have those crazy eyes and say stupid crap.
“No surprise irrelevant #Never Trumper York is hyping this fake news.”
Yes, I would expect nothing less.
NeverTrumpers chances THAT bad?
Delusional. Every Trump elector that does not vote Trump merely reduces the number he needs to win.
The object is to destabilize the process and throw it into the US Supreme Court where the Liberal/Progressive Judges can invalidate the Electoral Collage and give the election to Hillary.
Say what?
Headline of the Day Poll
Should the Electoral College be abolished?
Yes, direct democracy is the only fair way to hold elections
No, it preserves the vital concept of Federalism

Sorry cannot happen. Legally the election is over. The last possible thing that can happen is the Left comes up with 37 faithless GOP electors.
Why are they calling it the “Trump resistance”, as if its some rebel movement? If they wanted to do a useful story on this issue, they’d dig into how Soros is funding all this purely as a means to create chaos and de-legitimize the Trump presidency. Just like he would have done for any other Republican who was elected. This Suprun is a useful idiot who wants a few minutes in the spotlight. As always, the press is looking at the superficial story as if this idiot is part of some “resistance” while the real story is Soros subverting democracy.
“Rush remarked a few days ago the dems are no longer a national party considering over the last few recent years they have lost about 1500 seats federal and state wide and only control about 5 states. Come 2018, they have about 20 senate seats up for reelection.”
That shows that Hillary is lucky to have won even one state but the mainstream media , democrats obama etc. lie and say it’s the Russians why Hillary lost. NO it’s Americans that have rejected the democrat/communist party and democrat Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, “the polls” show Trump’s popularity is increasing. Keep it up, lefties, see if you can push his approval rating all the way to 100%!
The “Coup” by Hillary Clinton. Suppress the voters, create fake news, make baseless accusations, create a russian Conspiracy, threaten the families of the Electors, fund riots and marches, create racism where it never existed, and then overthrow the will of the people. This is a “Bloodless Coup”. The Democrats, who fired on Ft Sumter years ago and lost the Civil War, have finally risen to power to finally destroy the United States. And they want Hillary as their Fascist leader
This is not a conspiracy, it’s happening before our eyes
