In last-shot bid, thousands urge electoral college to block Trump at Monday vote
Washington Post ^ | Dec.17, 2016 | Robert Samuels

Pressure on members of the electoral college to select someone other than Donald Trump has grown dramatically — and noisily — in recent weeks, causing some to waver but yielding little evidence that Trump will fall short when electors convene in most state capitals Monday to cast their votes.

Carole Joyce of Arizona expected her role as a GOP elector to be pretty simple: She would meet the others in Phoenix and carry out a vote for Trump, who won the most votes in her state and whom she personally supported.

But then came the mail and the emails and the phone calls — first hundreds, then thousands of voters worrying that Trump’s impulsive nature would lead the country into another war.

Please try to get down to your state capitals and support the Trump Electors in the Red states. They put up with a lot of crap[ and I expect them to harassed and possible physically assaulted.

I expect significant disruptions in the states that went for Trump. They are very well organized and desperate.

Though their site below you can find out your location.

I usually don't read this crap but I wanted to see if they even mentioned the threats. No. What a bunch of censors and liars.

They only mention threats against Supren but did not mention Suprun scandals. More censoring, more lies.

Also Suprun said he was willing to vote for Trump in the electoral college until the candidate claimed with no evidence that millions of Clinton supporters voted illegally.

Well, there's plenty of evidence. 13 % of illegal aliens admit they vote!

That just proves Suprun is a blithering idiot being a stolen valor liar and fraud.

Hillary will lose yet again on Monday. Trump promised lots of winning and he is a man of his word.

I’ve read reports of death threats to electors and yet the DOJ is strangely silent. Actually its business as usual for almost every agency of this corrupt administration. If its for “them” it gets done, if not forget about it. 1/20/2017 cannot come soon enough.

Jeff Bezos is so compromised now, a living breathing real life laughing stock.

The NYT and WP have left a permanent unbearable stench of media collusion and corruption this election cycle.

History will never forget how they foolishly turned the spot light on themselves as #fakenews and continued to miscalculated the sophistication of the country outside their bubble.

Why shouldn’t they worry? Who would have expected these post-elective shenanigans to take place after 11/8/16? Why could they not have stopped the process after Trump clearly won? With the history of voter fraud, people are getting nervous.

I’ve been polishing my bullets all weekend in case the electors need someone to help defend them from Marty Sheen and his commie lib “celebrities”. Unlike Lynch and her phonyass DOJ, I take these death threats seriously.

Hundreds of millions in the US, and billions around the world, hope that the Electors will do their duty and elect Trump. And they indeed will.

The biggest outcome of this election is NOT that Mr. Trump was elected; it is that the MSM has negative credibility.

The fact that they are proven, reliable, liars, is something that will still haunt them AND the Rats even after ten POTUS election cycles have come and gone. Count on it!

Media: You have poisoned your own water supply: The only thing you offer is your credibility in relaying accounts of events. You have ruined it.

As they used to say in high schools in the '50s: "Smooth move, Ex-Lax!"

Back in October liberals where screeching at Trump to abide by the election result.

What a difference two months makes. Now they’re demanding the election result be overturned because they don’t like the outcome.

Just don’t accuse them of hypocrisy.
