However 63 of those Greeley electors switched their votes from Greeley to four non-candidates. Of course, those 63 electors could hardly be called "faithless" since Greeley had died 24 days after the election before any electors had met. In approving the electoral college reelection of Republican Ulysses S. Grant, the House did not count the three electoral votes for the deceased Greeley.
But, if one is to consider only electoral votes pledged to living presidential candidates, one has to go back (over two centuries ago!!) to the 1808 Presidential election where six electors from New York, who were pledged to vote for Democratic-Republican candidate James Madison to be President, voted instead for Madison's Vice-Presidential candidate, ironically named George Clinton.
Hillary almost had 8 faithless electors: An elector in Maine tried to vote for Bernie, but was forced to change his vote to Clinton. An elector in Minnesota and an elector in Colorado both also tried to vote for some other person, but were replaced under electoral procedure by electors who cast votes for Clinton.
Odd, no mention of this in the MSM. In fact, they’re not even talking about Russian hacking anymore.
For Hillary, being faithless comes with the territory.
Breaking the glass ceiling. that is when she isn’t busy breaking the law.
Martin Sheen, Debra Messing, James Cromwell, BD Wong, Noah Wyle, Freda Payne, Bob Odenkirk, J. Smith Cameron, Michael Urie, Moby, Mike Farrell, Loretta Swit, Richard Schiff, Christine Lahti, Steven Pasquale, Dominic Fumusa, Emily Tyra, and Talia Balsam
for inspiring these electors to vote their conscience and vote for someone other than Hilliary. Biggest loser in the history of the Republic.
Great job losers.
Good column by my friend Baris. He was one of the Deplorable Gurus working data with me on election day and is a key part of my new book “How Trump Won” due out Jan 18.
Interesting!
It wasn’t Comey that bit the Hillary Puppet in the a$$.
Benghazi bit her and drew blood.
Whatever possessed this cold, hard lying criminal to run for Pres and think she could win is beyond reality.
It shows just how truely sociopathic she is.
