He appears to be a Democratic elector. More power to him.

No, he’s a Hillary pledged elector. Typical fruit case.

“If my vote today could have helped Secretary Clinton win the presidency, I would have voted for her,” Bright wrote in the post. “But as the Electoral College meets all across this nation on this day, I see no likelihood of 38 Republican electors defecting from their party and casting their ballots for Secretary Clinton.”

Bright says he’s voting for Sanders because he won Maine’s Democratic caucus and deserves at least one of Maine’s votes. He wrote that Sanders engaged many first time voters, and he wanted to support their grassroots efforts.

Is this Trump’s one elector, or one of Hildebeeste’s three?

Yes, he is one of the Dem electors. Didn’t mean to suggest that this was the one elector in Maine that goes to Trump.

Balances out Suprun, so the final result will be more or less the same.

Love it.

Let’s see if the “Hamilton electors” (actually all Hillary electors) really follow through on their stated intention to vote for “other than Trump” as a passive protest. It’ll be nice to point out that the final electoral vote has an even wider margin of victory for Trump, with Hillary somewhere in the low 210s.

Nothing like liberals being hoist on their own “vote your conscience” petard.

Schadenfreude.

He
‘s every bit as repulsive as the elector in Texas who refuses to vote for Trump.

Not “faithless electors” but lying bastards all.
