No, I mean i don’t get the particulars of the dispute. Faithless electors have always been allowed to exist, but they will never change an outcome because they are loyalists to whatever candidate chose them, and they only turn faithless when changing their vote doesn’t matter.
So what are we doing here?
>>Like all things, this is simply bout Trump.
Paultards wanted to do this in 2004 to replace GBush with Ron Paul.
And Bernie Bros wanted to do this in 2016.
I think they tried doxing some electors in 2016 to intimidate some pledged to Trump to vote for Hillary instead.
ultimately they would try to seat “enemy camp” voters as electors.
That was despite a pitched effort by some on the left who wrote letters to Trump electors trying to persuade them to switch their votes or not vote at all and keep Trump short of the 270 needed.
Not only did it not happen, but more electors tried to defect from Hillary Clinton Monday than from Trump, by a count of eight to two. Three Democratic electors in Maine, Minnesota, and Colorado tried to vote for candidates other than Clinton. The electors’ votes, however, were disallowed because of state rules binding them to the statewide popular vote winner.
