If I remember right, in 2016 more of Hillary’s electors defected than Trump’s. The Democrats shouldn’t be promoting this kind of desertion. The last time electors deserted a candidate en masse was for a Democratic candidate, Horace Greeley, in 1872.

Greeley had died, so the electors had to desert him to have their votes count.

Just saw this on Fox News. One Elector in CO and 3 in WA voted for Trump instead of Clinton.

They were all replaced and fined by their States for not voting for Clinton.

The SCOTUS decision could impact Electors in all of the blue States that now have the “popular vote” rule.
