On Monday, it was Hillary Clinton who was losing a stream of Electoral College votes to surprising individuals, not Donald Trump.
Four Democratic electors in Washington State alone declined to vote for Clinton, who won the state overwhelmingly, and instead threw their votes behind Standing Rock activist Faith Spotted Eagle, former Secretary of State Colin Powell. The Daily Beast reports that Powell, a longtime Republican who supported the Democratic nominee in the last three elections, actually received three of the four rogue votes.
Always remind them that EIGHT Democratic electors defected. 3 got smacked down for it and their votes replaced.
Wow, these electors really did not seem to try. Or maybe some people figured out that Trump is still somewhat liberal.
