The money quote
“Third, electors are chosen by the party for their sworn loyalty and history of loyalty to the party. Even the most-ardent “never Trump” people in such a position would almost-certainly never, under any circumstances, vote for the Democrat nominee. They might vote for a different Republican but even if you managed to get 30+ of them to do so that throws the election to the House, which is Republican, and thus Trump wins anyway.
Finally, there’s one last check and balance. The Congress meets in Joint Session on January 6th to count the electoral votes. An objection to the certificates may be raised at that time and if voted in the affirmative by both houses of Congress, is sustained.
Guess who controls both Houses of Congress?”
IGB,
Thanks for the link!
Now, based on the asinine advocates of anarchy’s actions... if I was a (D) elector in a state that illary won narrowly, come Dec 19th, I just might be tempted to go rogue and flip it to President-Elect Trump.
Then after Jan 20th, change my registration from (D) to (R).
(And I would have a bug-out plan...)
