The issue of “faithless electors,” those who choose to vote in the Electoral College for someone other than the person to whom they are pledged as a result of the people’s vote, has surfaced again. This has been prompted largely by Hillary’s victory in the nationwide popular vote while losing the Electoral College, which actually elects the president, to Donald Trump.
There’s even one elector in Colorado who is attempting to launch a drive to deny Trump his victory.
It’s probably also being pursued as a reaction on the part of the more radical elements of the Democratic party to the devastating loss Hillary suffered at the polls. They cannot accept the result, so they behave in stupid, disruptive ways. At least this bunch isn’t rioting.
More on this issue and what’s up in Colorado on page two.
Stupid is as stupid does — do they not know that Clinton won Colorado
Unacceptable!
Wussies
Idiots
If the electors don’t vote for Trump they should be arrested. Thet signed contract stating they would vote for winning republican candidate.
So these Electors refuse to do their jobs? Next man up.
Why do we even have electors again? Especially people who weren’t elected themselves? Just so the door is open to controversy because otherwise I don’t see the point. Maybe it made sense back before everyone could see the election results in real time, but now it makes no sense at all except to give the corrupt one last chance to get things changed.
She didn’t win the electoral vote. Popular doesn’t count. Republicans and Democrats who are chosen to represent their party are, if they have a conscience, there to vote for their party. These rouges are Discusting. They knew when they accepted their assignment that Trump might win. Its not like Clinton is a better choice. Sheds a traitor and a lier. In the best interests of our country they should vote for Trump.
TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT!
Colorado has turned into a communist haven.
