I just read trump just got over the 270 threshold. So far Hillary had 4 defections plus three others tried. Trump only has only two defectors. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...-vote-seals-trump-white-house-victory-n698026 ... And some electors did break with how their state voted, albeit in unexpected ways. In Washington, a state Clinton won by 16 points, the former secretary of state received just eight of the state's 12 electoral votes. Colin Powell received three votes and Native American tribal leader Faith Spotted Eagle received one as part of an effort to promote a candidate other than Trump. An elector in both Maine and Minnesota attempted to cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders, who unsuccessfully challenged Clinton in the Democratic primary. However state laws requiring electors to follow the statewide vote invalidated both efforts. Only one Republican elector, Christopher Suprun of Texas, publically pledged not to vote for Trump despite his state heavily favoring the president-elect last month. One other Texas elector also abandoned Trump in the final vote.
Michael Moore: Trump "Has No Right To Enter That House" Michael Moore said there must be "protesting, obstructing, disrupting, and civil disobedience" on President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration day in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes. Moore also spoke of protesting electors in the Electoral College as they meet. "People need to have their voice heard," Moore said of electors who are casting their vote based on the outcome of the election in their state. "I mean, the man has no right to enter that house," Moore said of Trump and the White House. "There are too many questions about whatever collusion was going on. I mean, they admitted that they were in touch with the Russians during the campaign. They have said that," Moore claimed. MICHAEL MOORE: Listen, we are hours away now from the Electoral College coming together on Monday. This needs protest, this needs people's voices. You can go to Vigils For America, I think it's dot org, and they have a list of all the state protests at the state capitols this weekend and on Monday. People need to have their voice heard. Don't say to yourself, oh, what's the use? How do we -- nothing's going to happen. You don't know that. You don't know that. That's why we have to keep fighting. We have to fight all the way to inauguration day and then be ready for them to start the day after the inauguration passing law after law after law. CHRIS HAYES, MSNBC: And you think protesting on Inauguration Day -- Protesting, obstructing, disrupting, civil disobedience. I mean, the man has no right to enter that house. There are too many questions about whatever collusion was going on. I mean, they admitted that they were in touch with the Russians during the campaign. They have said that. HAYES: Right. MOORE: So we would need to know as Americans what the hell was going on there and he does not have a mandate. He does not have a mandate. And that just needs to be said over and over and over again. And the media, for God's sake, please do your job. HAYES: We try. MOORE: You're not trying hard enough, Chris. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...e_trump_has_no_right_to_enter_that_house.html Yeah, probably not.
Those SOBs in the press were harping on the 20 to 30 electors who said they might defect. It turned out that group was actually hillary electors who said they would vote for anyone but Trump if they could get Trump electors on board. There was never any information more than 1 Trump elector who said he would defect from what I read today. This who Elector issues, seems to be propaganda from the fake news mass media.
