Harvard professor says GOP electors are close to blocking Trump win

Harvard University law professor Larry Lessig said Tuesday that 20 Republican Electoral College voters are considering flipping to vote against Donald Trump, more than half the number of anti-Trump votes needed to stall the president-elect from being sworn into office.

"Obviously, whether an elector ultimately votes his or her conscience will depend in part upon whether there are enough doing the same. We now believe there are more than half the number needed to change the result seriously considering making that vote," Lessig told Politico.

Lessig has been offering free legal counsel to "faithless electors" who are considering casting a ballot for an alternative candidate as opposed to Trump, who earned 306 votes on Election Day, well above the necessary 270. . .

Liberal BS.

Yeah... they’re desperate so they’ll make up fake claims about GOP Elector defections.

Respecting the election result isn’t a rule... when the Left loses.

B.S.

The faculty at Harvard, by and large, have their heads stuffed with fog off the Charles River - and this tool is no exception.

This is really sick and Depraved.
Also, I do not believe there are 20. This is disinformation in hopes of pressuring others to follow suit. I think the number is still one. IMHO

[Conserv]

pure fantasy

[Trump20162020]

Fake news.

I think the number is still one. IMHO

Why hasn't that Elector been replaced?

[Salamander]

Sure.
:)

I also am reading he was molested as a kid and is somehow now hooked into Podesto with the pedo stuff.

The whole other side is predictably skeevy.

We should all be asking ourselves what we would be willing to do if this election is stolen in this, or any other, manner. The zeitgeist among the more, shall we say, "energetic" Trump supporters, from what I see on some corners on the Web, is that if some coup is pulled off, there will be violence. Aside from the assault on American culture in general, a lot of men, especially heterosexual white men, are realizing that the Left is using them as scapegoats for literally everything and that their very lives will be in jeopardy if the Left's time in power continues. Realizations like that make people desperate, and desperation makes people willing to do extreme things.

That said, I don't think we have a whole lot to worry about here, but it never hurts to be prepared.

All the hysteria about “accepting the results” by the media and now we have all these ridiculous threats and shenanigans. Crickets from the same journalists.

Go figure. Maybe it’s a Russian plot to turn our electors?

[RegulatorCountry]

They’ve always projected what they do upon their opponents and accused them of it.
