Maine elector switches Sanders vote to Clinton A Maine elector who attempted to cast his vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday switched his vote over to presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after his ballot was ruled invalid.

Elector David Bright’s ballot for Sanders triggered a second vote, according to a local NBC affiliate, at which point he voted for Clinton.

Criminy!!! Now they've got some dippy girls choir singing "Texas, Our Texas."

Hmmmm. What next? A mumblety-peg tournament? A cake walk?

YIKES!! That's how the Stop Trump People are trying to prevail - by getting control of the schedule in the Texas House!!! They're gonna delay until past the deadline for the voting!

Two Texas electors have just been declared ineligible because they are absent.

Where, pray tell, is this allowed by the Constitution?

Most likely it is the Amendment XII process whereby the Joint Session "counts" the votes. The logical extension of that would be the validity of those votes.

That's probably why no objection has ever been sustained in the history of the Republic.

Just heard that too.

Numbly peg tournament... Don’t give them any ideas

Glad to see the conspiracy theories last until the very end.

But first we will announce the winner of the Big Texas Chili Cook Off!

[Brandybux]

The Texas Secy of State has just announced there are 34 electors in the chamber eligible to vote. It appears Trump may get 33 of those votes.

They are not being sworn in.

WooWoo, this may trigger another HRC meltdown complete with screaming, crying, obscene language, throwing things, heavy drinking, etc. I hope she is so distraught again that she can’t be seen in public because she’s on a four day drunken bender LMAO!!!

C’mon, Texas, get a leg on and end this already.

And go see the story behind my screen name!

And the other headline this hour is “At least NINE dead when truck plows through Christmas Market in Berlin”. Wonder why those Euro equivalents of the Trump deplorables would do such a heinous thing? Any ideas, Dr. Merkel?

Texas has 38 EVs, not 34.
