This ploy didn’t work in 2000 when only 2 electors needed to switch the results from George W Bush to Al Gore. How likely will it be with 35 electors? Whether President-Elect Trump wins by 1 electoral vote or 35, he still wins, according to the law of the land.
Besides, if the Dem electors want to change, who would they change to. Changing FROM Hillary, would defeat the point, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, it’s good to take this ploy to God in prayer.
Before the election 2 Hillary electors had already defected from voting for her.

Title: Could 2 electors in Washington state throw the election to Donald Trump?
now that title’s laughable in light of what happened.
If nobody gets a majority, the House chooses the president from the top three finishers.
This was hte “McMullin scenario” — a close electoral split, with McMullin winning Utah (they also thought they had a chance at Colorado), thus being the third-place finisher, and then being the choice of Establishment Republicans on the Hill who were not warm to Trump.
Remember, should it go to the House, each state has ONE vote.
The Senate would choose the VP from the top two finishers, each Senator having one vote, so Pence would be secure in any event.
Words of wisdom.
