Can Hillary still win the election? Teen Becomes Seventh 'Faithless Elector'
the International Business Times ^ | 12/01/16 AT 3:25 AM | SUMAN VARANDANI

A teenager from Washington state has become the seventh "faithless elector" to protest Donald Trump's election as president of the United States. Levi Guerra, 19, said she will join the ranks of the so-called “Hamilton electors.”

Guerra is one of the 12 electors in Washington state who have been mandated to vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, on Dec. 19, as part of the Electoral College. The group believes that it is the responsibility of the 538 electors who make up the nation's Electoral College to stop an unfit person from becoming president.

“I stand behind Hamilton electors,” Guerra said, in a statement to the Guardian Wednesday. “I promised those who elected me that I would do everything I could to keep Donald Trump out of office.”

I don’t understand these headlines; they make no sense whatever. Severn Hillary electors say they won’t vote for her - what on earth does that have to do with the 306 voting for Trump?? They are faithless to her, not to him. This is either remarkably stupid reporting or its just venal.

These dummies don't realize that there are two sets of Electors, one for Hildabeast and one for Trump. Bunch of f'ing clowns. Any hope the San Andreas fault extend all the way to Washington state?

Whenever I see an article about these "faithless electors" posted here on FreeRepublic, I know without even reading it that it was written by some jack@ss (often a foreigner) who has no idea how our election system works.

A "faithless" Democrat elector in a state that Hillary Clinton won who refuses to cast a vote for any of the candidates is like a competitor in an Olympic track event dropping out of the race after the winner has already crossed the finish line.

Aww .... this is just too cute! Isn't this liddle baby snowfwake the most pwecious thing? "If 12 of us Hillary-pledged electors announce we're going to vote 3rd party, then dozens, no, HUNDREDS of Trump's electors will have no choice but to follow their consciences to join us in our Holy Jihad to unseat Trump. And this will also be the day the seas stop rising!"

Just watch now, people. Before you know it, the Electoral College will have voted, with Trump at 306 and Hillary far below 200, and dozens of SFE (Snowflake Faithless Electors) votes for Mickey Mouse.

And bare minutes after that, there will be a plethora of competing CrowdFunding announcements for kicking off Plan C (or is it up to D or E now?), namely the "Impeach Trump" movement. "Hurry, we need to impeach him quickly before he's sworn in! And no, we haven't read the US Constitution lately; why do you ask?"

How does a 19 year become an Electoral voter???. I would think to be one ,one would have to have a full understanding of how our system of voting works. Most 19 year old act like they are 10 these days. I just do not get it!

Unless - this is simply an effort to give COVER to spineless electors in states that DO matter.

I didn’t assume you didn’t read the article. In fact I understood you read the article
as you posted the info that shows she’s a female thus refuting those that thought Levi
was a male. My question was a general question, not directed at you per se. Take care.

If you are not going to blindly follow the MSM narrative, we’ll have to ask you to leave.

It appears the author does not fully grasp the subject matter he is reporting on.

They almost never do. Finding subject matter authors to report on subjects that they understand, almost never happens.

I especially like the group she’s got assembled behind her. Looks like Seattle’s best (not to be confused with the coffee brand)...

The idea is to draft Romney or some other Republican (”country before party”) and either persuade Trump electors to come along or throw the election to the House, where they hope this draftee will be selected.

The long odds of desperation. Trump should build the wall with salt bricks.
