Although it undermines the Electoral Colleges, it’s Hillarious that more “faithless electors” went against Clinton than against Trump.

As usual democraps love to spend other people's money.

It remains to be seen how much she spent and how much she pocketed.

That’s 4 electoral votes for Sanders if the DNC didn’t intervene.

Democrats are calling for a “youth movement”. At the moment they have significant support for only 3 candidates in 2020. Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and a third try for Hillary.

It was more likely we’d see 37 electors from red parts of blue states flip for Trump!

You led the charge for Trump on the Big Island? If so, Kudos and Mahalo.

She is also a leader of the pipeline protest. I hope they freeze.

I’m a little bit behind the curve here. Faithless elector is a new term to me. What does that mean?

If this keeps up I am going to feel sorry for her.

Either I am mellowing in my old age or I have been watching too much of the Hallmark Channel.

An elector swears an oath to vote either for whoever won the popular vote in their state or whoever won the popular vote in their district.

If they do not then they have "broken faith" and violated their oath.

Thus "Faithless Elector".
