I do not get the point of these articles everywhere. The only person this "faithless" elector hurts is Hillary who she was supposed to vote for not Trump who she was never to vote for. I know IQ is a bell curve but this is beyond stupid.

What the heck is the point of running this over and over everywhere.... there is a reason!?!?!?

“Hillary won WA, so his vote wasn’t awarded to Trump anyway. This is a non-story.”

Yes, but the idea is to get other electors to fall in line with the supposed faithless electors that the media keeps reporting.

That is, to influence the electors with fake news.

So she is a faithful elector. Why does the news report this deceptive trash. They already predicted who would win the election, and possibly cost themselves the election with all those people who sat it out thinking Hillary was going to win.

Am I missing something obvious? Why does the media keep trumpeting these “faithless electors” in states Hillary Clinton won, such as Colorado and Washington? Who cares?

To be “faithless” she would have to change her vote to vote *for* Trump.

What an insane article.

This is a non-story.

**********

I see your point. But the disturbing aspect of the story is, regardless of the state in question, that people voted and some electors are nullifying their votes, effectively disenfranchising them.

The even bigger question is why should anyone bother to vote if the system can be so easily manipulated to negate the will of the people? This matter of elector “infidelity” needs to be addressed on a national basis.

An elector comes from a state Hillary won and decides not to vote for Trump. Why is this a news item? This is someone who either doesn’t know anything about being an elector, or they simply want to see their name in the paper.

If they vote for another Republican and if Stein is successful in derailing the three states then it’s possible for the other Republican to get elected by the house of Representatives.

Suman, stop torturing those poor liberals. You are just giving them hope that will only be dashed. They are depressed already, they read an article like this and think that Madam President is still a possibility, and then when their hopes are inevitably dashed, they will truly go off the deep end. Your article will only result in involuntary commitments and suicides.

It keeps the public's attention away from:

The Podesta Emails

The Hillary Emails

Pizzagate

Is Hillary still alive ?

I have a question: So if these seven so-called "faithless electors" don't vote for Hillary, as they're obligated to, will the final tally end up as it sits now:

Trump-306 vs Hillary 232,

or Trump-306 vs Hillary-225?

“Hillary would need 38 Electors to defect”

And the only ones saying they’ll defect are hers.

I think you are on to something. They are helping the liberal cause, in their minds, to destroy the electoral college.

[Uhhhhh....Washington state was won by Hillary. Unless she is voting for someone else, this is a big nothing.]

The MEDIA is painting the illusion that TRUMP is losing electoral votes for the purpose of swaying the uninformed.

Guess what! We DEPLORABLES are informed!

Does this person really believe that Hillary’s problems understanding security protocols and lying about the emails as well as cheating poor Haitians out of millions of dollars makes her a better candidate than Trump? Giant eye-roll.

Who reads the articles? Just glance at the headline and
post away. I do that sometimes also.

Levi Guerra, 19, said she will join the ranks of the so-called “Hamilton electors.”
