Like these guys:
"Several things merit mentioning. First, you have every right to lobby an elector. I delight in receiving this type of communication from a fellow American," wrote L. Scott Mann, a Texas elector. "Second, this is not a pure democracy, it is a republic....Third, the Electoral College does not exist in order to give you a 'do over' because you don't like the results; it exists to preserve the nature of the republic. He went on to add, "Your feelings notwithstanding, it is not my duty to care one whit what the plurality or majority of Americans want. My job is to represent the decision of the winning party in the Texas Presidential election. It's not that your feelings don't matter at all, they just don't matter here. The law and U.S. Constitution do."" "Alex Kim, also of Texas said he was receiving "about 4,000 emails a day." He didn't sound angry, but annoyed because no one understands the rules. "There is no such thing as a national popular vote," he reminded. "The only vote that matters to me as a Texas Elector is the Texas vote. ... I respect your part in the political process, but frankly, since I am a Texas elector, the political opinions of non-Texas voters means nothing to me. I do not vote or get involved in your state, I am not sure why you are trying to interfere in mine." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/stop-expecting-electors-deny-donald-trump-presidency-article-1.2916005 |

I'd tell them I was seriously considering changing my vote for Trump, until I got this phone call/email/letter. It's just too much at this point. Now I'm back to being all in for Trump. Thanks for calling/writing/emailing.

If possible, have the state police chase a couple of them down and prosecute them.
Word gets out fast that you are taking no shit and that will stop most of it. Incidentally Martin Sheen ought to be killed with fire for arocking an elector. |

I'd just ignore them and possibly get a chuckle out of some of the email messages. Any threats would be turned over to the appropriate authorities. Besides, as a member of the electoral college, my duty would be to represent the voters in my state, not some cry babies from other states. Sorry, I don't make the rules, I'm just a pawn in the game!

With proper wordsmithing they will think I mean to let them vote via poll or something, but what I actually mean is that the Nov 8 vote will dictate my choice. Get rich and do my job at the same time, win / win. |

Take all the bribe money and then still vote for Trump!
No, actually, I would send them a note similar to some of the others explaining to them that they have me confused with somebody who actually cares whether they live or die let alone who they want me to vote for the college. |

I'd guess that you have a right to lobby the electors. I'd also guess that they have a right not to be lobbied. It seems like your vote is your only way of lobbying that is supported by the law. It seems like it should be more like a jury, they are supposed to hear the trial and not be influenced outside of the court hearings.
