Reports from one of 21 states not binding electors to the state results. Activists have distributed contact information including FB, phone and cell numbers, email addresses. Electors report barrage of abuse. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2016/nov/14/idaho-trump-electors-report-barrage-of-harassing-m/
All this is going to do is piss them off and make them even more resolute to put in their vote for Trump.
Dumba$$es.
once he is prez elect they cannot do a thing about can they?
“Politico published a list of all the Trump electors, promoting this scam.”

Some should publish a list of EVERYONE involved with Pollute-ico, including their names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail address, and other personal information.
So how THEY like it.
I'm not sure that this type of activity falls under the "Free Speech" category. From what I am reading, these people are harassing the Electors at home, on line; everywhere. To me this crosses the line from 1st Amendment speech to stalking and intimidation. The way things are going (riots, violence against Trump supporters, calls for assassination of the President Elect and the rape of his wife, etc) , if I was one of the Electors, I would seriously fear for my, and my family's well being should I vote for Trump when the time comes.
In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and publicly say, here and now, that at least one Elector, or more, will be physically attacked, if not killed, after the Electoral College meets.
[ The same 1st Amendment that guarantees Free Speech also guarantees the right to redress grievances. ]
Free speech means not being charged for expressing your opinion. HARRASSMENT is NOT protected under the 1A....
I would be very surprised if it was not illegal.
I fully agree this type of activity to undermine an election should be illegal for ANYONE. I doubt true conservatives would consider it impinging on free speech.
Maybe making electorate-tampering activity have the same weight legally as jury-tampering could alleviate this problem.
I wouldn’t put it past the liberals to start threatening them and their families.
This WOULD be civil war if they did that.
Yep. Vox (very liberal site) had an article - posted here actually - that pointied out that, no, you are not going to flip 36 electors and no, you don’t want the consequences if you do.
i.e. CWII. and our side is a lot better armed and trained.
LOL. They want to flip 37 of them. That gets a 269 tie and leaves it to the new Congress to decide. Whom do they think has the majority vote in the new Congress?
“I literally am coming to hate democrats”
At some point...who knows when but sometime...we are going to have to deal with them in the harshest possible terms. They need to be put down.
Sigh. “Some” should be “someone.”
Agreed, this is Obama's legacy.
Is harassing and threatening witnesses and jurors now also free speech? They’re interfering with a federal process, using threats, harassment, intimidation. If it isn’t illegal yet, it should be by yesterday.
On a channel yesterday they showed a white man being beaten, only for the black woman to say so what if a white man is beaten.
Not a peep from the host of the show, think it was on CNN,.
Proggies do not understand or accept human nature, or natural law, or cause and effect. So much of what they believe is unnatural, untrue, disordered. And so their outcome expectations are equally erroneous.
Liberalism/progressivism truly is a mental disorder. We are witnessing great cognitive dissonance among in their ranks now, and they’re now much more dangerous when grouping together.
Harassment and threats are not free speech.
