Obama's "home" state sticks the knife in at the last.
One of Hawaii's four electors voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders for president Monday.
While Hillary Clinton won the state's popular vote in November, one of Hawaii's electors backed the independent Vermont senator, while the other three voted for Clinton, the Associated Press reports.

Someone get that Ivy League prof on the horn and find out what the heck happened to the 37 electors that were supposed to have flipped!
I led the charge in Kona
Although it undermines the Electoral Colleges, it’s Hillarious that more “faithless electors” went against Clinton than against Trump.
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.
Yeah if only one went for Trump!
The final count, DNC be damned:
Donald Trump 304
Hillary Clinton 224
Bernie Sanders 3
Colin Powell 3
John Kasich 2
Ron Paul 1
Faith Spotted Eagle 1
As for VP:
Mike Pence 305
Tim Kaine 224
Elizabeth Warren 2
Carly Fiorina 1
Maria Cantwell 1
Susan Collins 1
Tulsi Gabbard 1
Winona LaDuke 1
Unknown/uncommitted 1
It was more likely we’d see 37 electors from red parts of blue states flip for Trump!
Funny that the islamidemocommucrats had more defections in the Electoral College than Trump.
Jill Stein didn’t get any?
What kind of injun name is Faith?
If you saw a picture of her, you would understand why. not enough bags. Not enough alcohol.
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.
She forgot that it is not HOW MUCH YOU SPEND but . . .
HOW YOU SPEND IT!
As PE Trump proved!
That’s 6 votes Hillary lost today. Good plan, Dems. Good plan. Ha Ha

HI 1
I’m a little bit behind the curve here. Faithless elector is a new term to me. What does that mean?
Either I am mellowing in my old age or I have been watching too much of the Hallmark Channel.
If they do not then they have "broken faith" and violated their oath.
Thus "Faithless Elector".
