Remember “faithless electors” — those almost mythical rogues who Hillary Clinton fans once desperately hoped could save them from a victorious Donald Trump four years ago?
Well, there is still such a thing as faithless electors, they are still an incredible longshot, and Trump fans too can now place the very slimmest of hopes in them.
So what are faithless electors again?

That’s not a winning strategy. A better strategy would be to use the Republican legislatures to send electors.
bs scenario
The lead is hemorrhaging in PA.
With the number of votes left to count, 90k won’t hold up with the abuse that’s going on.
That concerns me mostly because the SCOTUS is VERY hesitant to discard an already counted vote.
I’m praying
Just how long of a longshot do you think that would be.
Ain't gonna happen, no how, no way.
There are many paths to to a second term, and most go through the Pennsylvania legislature. The legislature has the power to appoint Trump electors and could temporally expel Philadelphia from the state and not county those votes.
Supreme Court just ruled against any changes there, but apparently state legislatures can deal with the fraud.
Whomever wrote the article should know that.
I think the Dems would strangle any elector who was pledged to vote for Biden who didn't. If he voted for Trump they would also desecrate his body.
If they use election fraud and even the Supreme Court won’t stop them it’s time for Martial Law to be declared. Bring in the US Army for a new election.
PDJT is law and order; won’t do this. Sets dangerous precedent for buying them off. Courts likely, may not need them. Check out Samantha Marika’s twitter feed...good stuff.
Agree.
Gotta get my eyes checked.... thought the title said “Faithless Erectors” and figured I’d drop in for the Toobin jokes.
They are going steal this. Trump should hold a party invite all his voters to DC - a few million of us would attend at least. Informal attire, open carry and we can proceed to drain the swamp
Call it Trumps Law and Order Party 2020. Were are done with the lawless.
I have been saying that we must have a new election. Guarded by the military, police, armed citizens who have trained, etc.
This one is just too screwed up.
I think the Founders would understand.
LOL!
Toobin will never live that down.
This is going to come down to the house NOT the Supreme Court
Lowlifes in scouts including roberts and kavanaugh created problem in first place
No, educate yourself about the process. The state legislature appoints the electors and they are sovereign. Also, if a single member of the Senate and a single member of the house object it’s on.
Since the Republicans control both houses of the PA legislature, will they have the balls/ovaries needed to order the electors to negate the obvious Dem fraud to vote for the President? I hope so.
