I'm no constitutional scholar but I believe the government (in this case Electoral College) countermanding the will of the voters would not be treason, it would be tyranny. They are within their rights to do so, but it would be ignoring the will of the voters (technically states)
Im not worried about it |

'Faithless' Texas elector won't vote for Trump Your last two comments are inherently in contradiction with one another. Our forefathers intended for the Electoral College to be non-democratic; it was not only not intended to express the will of the people, it was also intended to check their potential will, and by electing the President, allow that institution to serve as a check on the people. They intended for Electors to be free agents who could vote as they pleased and who ideally would be elites who would choose a genuine elite and qualified person for President and also for Vice President. They did not even require Electors to be chosen by the people, and initially, most were not. There is no constitutional requirement for them to vote according to the "will of the people" nor even consider it. That has become the common practice, but the Constitution neither requires that nor allows it to be required, and it is also not even remotely close to treason (the notion is absurd). That being said, this "movement" is going nowhere. The worst they could do is throw the election to Congress, where Trump would surely win. Clinton certainly will not benefit, as the Republicans who might vote for someone else won't vote for her, and some of the Democratic Electors are defecting from her camp. Even if the number of Republicans defect as claimed, Trump will win the election today. And if somehow more defected, he'll win the election in the House. Most Electors will vote as pledged on both sides. This whole thing will be just another curiosity in this election cycle. It is quite unlikely to be impactful. Many here have taken this whole thing too far. It is interesting to see, however, many people who previously touted the anti-democratic nature of the EC rail against that very feature. |

GD is pretty confident, but I'll relax a bit starting about 2 mins after Trump gets sworn in. There'll be some grumbling that Trump had his fingers crossed, so the oath didn't count or something. Then a brief moment of peace. Then the media shitstorm will fire up again as the press spins and over-analyzes everything he does, says, looks, etc. Impeachment requests will start coming in from the Democrats starting Jan 21. MSM will focus on those whenever theres a slow news day.
The point is never get complacent. One battle has been won but the war still continues. |

Quote HistoryThis kook is a life long democrat that got himself listed as a republican elector. He's also a stolen valor asshole & a complete fraud. It is funny to watch the false hope he is giving the lefties (DU has be absolutely hilarious these last few days) - they are absolutely melting down & they are about to be crushed again today when FHRC loses the 2016 election for the third time. Hopefully another leftist idiot starts firing them up about "Senate President Biden" falsely having the ability to declare EC votes from certain states invalid on January 3rd - then we can watch them lose their shit all over again when it doesn't happen. (Just remember these tactics - maybe it's time for the "alt-right" to start infiltrating the D's & waiting for them to win a 270-268 squeaker, then flipping it to "steal" the election.) |

I do not think it means what you think it means" - Inigo Montoya If the forefathers simply wanted a method to give some weight to smaller states over larger states, the EC wouldn't involve people at all, but simply convert popular vote to electoral vote automatically. The electoral college uses people so that each party could have a slate of super-committed people to counteract misguided fits of populism which sometimes sweep the republic. Further, each state is allowed to govern their electors as they see fit. |

Yeah, that dipstick Elector is unfortunately from my state of Texas and I don't think we have any state law that requires him to vote as the majority vote went. He's also trying to influence other Electors.
 This guy sounds to be of the same ilk as that jerkoff Wendy Davis that ran for governor and thankfully lost. She falsely claimed that she supported the 2nd amendment, but, most voters saw through her lies (another Clinton liar).

My wife and I were having this exact discussion a few nights ago, that this election has revealed how absolutely crazy and radical so many on the left really are. We both agreed that it was not be beyond reasonable imagination that we might see a few John Hinckley Jrs emerge in the coming years, but they won't be motivated by their infatuation with a movie star but instead by their demented ideological beliefs which are grounded in lies, half-truths, and misinformation. This is what I'm worried about. I've seen butt hurt, but not this scale of butt hurt. The left is butt hurt on an epic scale of proportion. |

Most of these "faithless elector" stories talk about the elector flipping from Trump to Bernie or someone else... NOT HILLARY. I don't think there are going to be enough to matter. However, worst case scenario is that no one gets to 270, and it goes to the House. I don't really think the House is going to vote against Trump at this point. They know the repercussions of that better than these few electors do. They may not want Trump, but they definitely do not want a civil war, that is gonna cut the gravy off fast for people in elected office. They'll vote in their own self-interest. Not that it will get there anyway.

Muhammad Abdurrahman, a former Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention, attempted to vote for a presidential ticket of Sanders and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, according to The Associated Press's Kyle Potter. http://www.ajc.com/news/national/electoral-college-vote-live-updates-state-state-voting/sy5C2hooqtnMG8tEviTATN/ Minnesota cast 10 votes for Hillary Clinton after Muhammad Abdurrahan, a "faithless voter" refused to vote for her and was replaced by an alternate |
