40 Electoral College Members Demand Briefing On Russian Interference
The Hill ^ | December 13, 2016 | By Jennifer Calfas

Posted on 12/15/2016 5:28:09 AM PST by Fennie

Forty members of the Electoral College on Tuesday signed a letter demanding an intelligence briefing on Russian interference in the election ahead of their Dec. 19 vote.

Ten electors originally signed the letter when it was published Monday, and 30 more have since added their names.

The open letter - led by Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) - urged Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to give a detailed briefing on President-elect Donald Trump's ties to Russia.

"We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States," the letter read. The Clinton campaign applauded the effort Monday, saying it had repeatedly warned about Russian interference aimed at swaying the election in Trump's favor.

Story is 2 days old and has been posted many times. What’s the point in posting it again?

The signees of the letter are all Democratic electors, aside from one Republican: Chris Suprun from Texas.

These are all HRC supporters causing trouble where there is none, Russians didn’t hack the election, HRC cheated and got caught. And as usual blame it some where else. And be sure you use insecure private servers.

37% of Wisconsin’s counties had more people vote than were on the rolls. Some voted 6 times.

Aren’t these 39 electors from states that went for Clinton, and the one yutz Republican from Texas? Are the Clinton electors planning on changing their votes? :-)

They have no interest in seeing any investigative report about Hillary Clinton?? And how would Mr. Trump be “unfit for office” because Russia hacked some emails?

That the Clinton Campaign supports this is a frightening level of evil by the Democrats. I’m in my sixties and don’t recall any similar interference with the Electoral College.

Democrat electors (party functionaries) “demand” intelligence briefing from politicized intelligence agency.

Publicity stunt.

Or will Obama just declassify it the day of the vote?
