Pelosi’s Daughter Leads Effort To Block Trump Through Electoral College

By Valerie Richardson - December 12, 2016 The accusations of Russian interference in the November presidential election have provided a last-minute lifeline for the long-shot effort to head off Donald Trump at the Electoral College.

Ten electors, led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Christine Pelosi, demanded Monday an intelligence briefing on Russian interference by Monday, when the Electoral College makes the vote official.

Flipping the Electoral College seems to be the only hope left for Trump opponents. Recount efforts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have backfired.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee urged Trump opponents to participate in a protest scheduled for all 50 state capitols Monday aimed at persuading electors to cast their ballots for someone other than the Republican real estate mogul.

“The idea that a foreign government has interfered with our elections to undermine their credibility, much less support one of the candidates, indicates a Rubicon has been crossed for our nation, and we need to consider it carefully,” Chris Suprun, a Texas Republican elector, said at a Sunday press conference. Even before Friday’s news reports, Mr. Suprun had vowed not to cast his ballot for Mr. Trump.

(snip) With the Electoral College vote just days away, however, organizers of the small yet unprecedented drive to upend the results of the Nov. 8 presidential race seized upon the reports, saying they show foreign influence tainted the election.

The group Hamilton Electors, which is urging both Democratic and Republican electors to unite behind a third candidate, preferably a moderate Republican, said this “is the moment Alexander Hamilton warned us about.”

So who is that? George Soros? The royal Saudi family who gave Hillary millions of $?

Frankly Ms. Pelosi, there's MUCH more evidence of foreign influence for the Hillary and the democrats than for Trump by the Russians.

So if they vote for someone other than Hillary, I don’t mind.

Let’s see what happens next week when they actually vote.

"So this is their REAL purpose.
A “moderate” Republican who will not build the wall, grant amnesty,
another Justice Souter???"

This is quite telling in that it publicly reveals
who the RINOs really work for and what their true
beliefs really are. They are DEMOCRATS!

You're probably correct; at least I hope you are.

Our side NEVER protests, like the lefties do, but should they somehow overturn this election....well.....

Exactly correct, of course. These thieves obviously don't care about what the logical or honest analysis is, but these are the points we should be driving home.

Despicable to try to change the rules of the game in midstream. But there is no honor in any of these Democrats, and the Pelosi apple does not fall far from the tree...

The entrenched legislative criminal class is very unhappy about their impending disenfranchisement.

This has to be the biggest political pipe dream in American history. BTW, the Electoral College described by Hamilton ceased to exist on June 15, 1804. That's when the 12th Amendment was adopted.
