But if he was a Trump elector and voted for Clinton they would have allowed it.

He’s as reliable as Bernie.

I suggest he add for a middle name: “Not Too”.

Gonna have trouble showing his face around even the Bernie folks. Hope he cashed the check from Hillary before she runs out of funds.

Sounds like Soros has been giving carte blanc to his team of faithless
electors. I bet there are some enriched bank accounts today...

Faith Spotted Eagle got a vote for President in WA State. The strangest group of people you could ever find. Vote took place with Indian feather pens after a five minute Indian flutist....the one beside the cross-dresser. Hilarious!!!

Maine splits it’s electoral votes by Congressional districts, as does Nebraska.

I live in CD2, which covers 80% of Maine. Trump won CD2, and received one electoral vote as a result.

The GOP in California should get together and get their laws changed to split their electoral votes by congressional districs too, the way Maine does.

it is insane to let 55 votes be controlled by 1% of the population along to coast ESPECUALLY when so many are ILLEGAL.

He was an original Hitlery elector, but attempted to defect to the disheartened Sanders voters who were first-time voters and saddened.

I saw that! Wish there were more, just to rub salt in the wounds.

Four WA state Cankles electors went with someone else. So she’s down 4.
