I just finished a highly unusual telephone conversation with Baoky Vu, a naturalized U.S. citizen and longtime GOP activist in Georgia.
Vu will be on the November ballot as an elector – a constitutionally mandated stand-in for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Should Trump take Georgia, Vu will be one of 16 Georgia members of the electoral college who will formally decide the U.S. presidential contest.
Vu has just put out a statement saying that he cannot bring himself to vote for Trump in the November general election. And he might not vote for Trump as a member of the electoral college, either.
Georgia is one of 21 states that do not require its members of the electoral college to adhere to the results of the popular vote in their state. “I have the right to vote for a write-in candidate in the electoral college,” Vu said.
Vu is a Decatur resident and serves on the governing board of the Technical College System of Georgia, and is vice chair of the DeKalb County Board of Voter Registration and Elections.
Vu and his family left Vietnam prior to the fall of Saigon in 1975. After two years in Australia, the family moved to the United States, eventually settling in Georgia.

No one named “Vu” should be an elector.
“Gold star parent, son, daughter, brother whatever does not give anyone the right to pull the crap Khan did.”
Not to mention that there have been **three** presidential elections since Khan’s son was killed. He could have come forward at any time. Instead, he waited until he could trade on tragedy to help Rotten Cankles.
The SOB is a Cankles operative, and a disgrace to his son’s sacrifice.
@BKVu is his twitter handle. Send him regards.
I’d prefer you bump the original thread, but you’ll do what you want, clearly.
