More ‘Faithless Electors’ Defect from Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump
Permalink  
 

The majority of “faithless” Democratic electors from the Electoral College — who cast their ballots on Monday — reportedly defected from Hillary Clinton in an attempt to block President-elect Donald Trump from winning.

 

They still lost.

In Denver, Colorado, one elector was reportedly replaced after refusing to vote for Clinton, who had won the state’s vote. Once that person was replaced, all of Colorado’s nine electors voted for Clinton. The faithless elector’s move was part of a failed, previous attempt by two of Colorado’s electors, to persuade the others to join a bid to block Trump.

Last week, Denver Judge Elizabeth Starrs ruled against this move and warned that any defectors could face criminal charges if they defy her court order.

NPR noted that an elector who tried to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in Minnesotta was replaced by an alternate elector, who voted for Clinton.

In Washington, three Democrats reportedly defected as part of the failed effort to unite

behind a Republican alternative to Trump and in Texas, The now infamous “Faithless Elector” Christopher Suprun revealed that he cast his ballot for Ohio Governor John Kasich, who received just one vote.

According to Fox News, earlier in Palm Beach, Florida, an electoral college protester reportedly shouted “you sold out America” as the electors cast their ballots.

The problem with this is now the Left wants to corrupt the Electoral College and is paving the way to do just that in the future.

Won;t happen LGS. They keep wanting to make the Constitution irrelevant. But they can't because then we no longer have a country and it would be treason.

They will change their tune and declare how wonderful it is when a Democrat wins a election.

I still want to know what happened to "Now that is not the way our democracy works. We've been around for 240 years. We've had free and fair election. We've accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. And that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election."
