Filmmaker and author Michael Moore has made an offer to Republican members of the Electoral College: If an elector does not vote for Donald Trump -- which would constitute a violation of their pledge -- and their state is one that imposes a fine for such a violation, Moore will pay it.
In an open letter Sunday addressed to Republican electors on his Facebook page, Moore wrote, "Some states have made it 'illegal' for you to vote any other way than for Trump. If you don't vote for him, your state will fine you ... So here's my offer to you: I obviously can't and won't give you money to vote tomorrow, but if you do vote your conscience and you are punished for it, I will personally step up pay your fine which is my legal right to do."

That’s the best picture of Michael Moore I’ve seen.

If anyone tries to mess with the electors/ electoral college, they’re breaking the law.
I’m still waiting for Madonna to fulfill her promise. Did anyone ever leave the U.S.?
Com’on Michael...take your medicine like a big boy...
There you go!
Thank you for that reminder.
This guy is so full of sh*t that if he took a dump the world’s sea level would rise 50 miles high. He makes a movie about how Detroit was devastated by the car companies closing down and/or moving and here comes a guy - Trump to put an end to it and what does this fat F do? He wants to destroy Trump so the person who takes bribes from these companies and sells out the US middle class - Hillary Clinton - can take office.
Convict him and his Hollywood cohorts of conspiracy to overthrow the government, because that is exactly what they are trying to accomplish.
Micheal Moron...flapping his gums again.
That is brilliant! Hahaha...”Trump’s Great Ridge”!
Best. Election. Ever.
I don’t know how it is all going to turn out with Trump (who does?) but hopefully Trump doesn’t give a hoot about who likes or agrees with him and who doesn’t (as most politicians seem to be hung up on) in order to turn things around, but the expectation we may see more liberal heads exploding in the future is something to look forward to!
Nice job on that map-I am appropriating that!
Holy crap it’s him!
Trump is mining a particularly rich vein these days.
Love that map. Haven’t seen the numbers presented in quite that way. Very informative.
That's because he has no conception of honor and integrity. An elector who abandons the trust placed in them by the people of their state have more at risk that a simple fine.
So, just how would Moore restore their honor once they have betrayed the people of their state?
Check the original big ones at #22.
Here’s a listing by state of what time the electors meet and if faithless electors are allowed.

And the bodyguards?
My first thought, ATTEMPTED BRIBERY.
LOCK HIM UP!
Michael Moore doesn’t like the way the game was played and he’s trying to bribe the refs.
Bump for later
Bribery of Presidential Electors, plain and simple.
