Washington's Bret Chiafolo and Colorado's Michael Baca hope at least 37 of their GOP colleagues will abandon Trump and force the House into picking the next president instead, Politico said Monday. Politico said the pair's so-called "Moral Electors" movement has already found one backer in Washington's Robert Satiacum. "This is a longshot," Chiafolo told Politico in a phone interview Monday. "It's a hail Mary. However, I do see situations where - when we've already had two or three [Republican] electors state publicly they didn't want to vote for Trump. How many of them have real issue with Donald Trump in private?" Politico said neither Baca nor Chiafolo is seeking the election of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Both vowed they would encourage GOP electors to write-in either Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) or 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney instead. The House would choose from among the top-three vote getters should enough electors reject Trump's claim to the White House. Politico noted the 538 members of the Electoral College are scheduled to gather in their various state capitals and formally vote for president Dec. 19. Baca and Chiafolo are seeking 37 other electors to halt Trump due to the Republican's results in the Electoral College vote last week. Trump claimed 290 electoral votes to Clinton's 228, and currently leads in Michigan, which awards another 16. Michigan would boost Trump's total to 306 electoral votes if all electors there go his way, well past the 270 threshold required for the presidency. Politico added it could find only one GOP elector on record considering a break with Trump, his party's nominee. Texas's Art Sisneros, a Libertarian activist, on Monday said he remains "undecided" but state party leaders and fellow GOP electors are pressuring him to go with Trump. Twenty-nine states have laws mandating their electors support the victor of their state's popular vote, though Politico acknowledged none has ever been challenged or enforced. Clinton's loss to Trump remains controversial as the former secretary of State won the national popular vote by less than 1 point over him. tater, go peel a potatoe. Two Democratic members of the Electoral College have launched a campaign to keep President-elect Donald Trump from entering the White House, according to a new report.
I told all of you about this enigma in an earlier post. For the most part, all I got was a whinning, silly pile of cheap gossip.

This could start a electoral war or more.
The electoral college hasn't even voted yet! That is correct. There is still a chance for my dead dawg Scruffy to win the keys to the WhiteHouse.
If what they seek is to finally get the lone-overdue revolution to begin in America,that's the way to do it. Convince the working class whites and conservatives of all backgrounds that their votes no longer matter and the professional criminal classes will just pick who they want,and there will be people showing up in the streets carrying rifles and heading to the local political headquarters. Which may even be a good thing in the long run. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

Three Dem electors. Big deal. They won't be casting their vote for a Republican.
Like I said a week ago, It isn't over until the fat lady sings at the end on Dec 19th.
So Hillary will get even less than 232 EVs?
the hole won no majority over trump. any recount would show the fake double votes, illegals and dead votes and e v e r y single one of those probably 5% per state totals would decimate the slots purported "won states" to where this would end up showing the true landslide against regressivism that actually occurred nov 8. but not needed you lost we won shut up elections have consequences or best yet --- at this point what difference does it make? chuckles... i oil my guns with the tears of statists
HAHA! They are a sad bunch!
The problem is that the Dems don't believe in rules . Dan Bongino ,subbing forMark Levin pointed out that the Dems before the election loved the Electoral College and their solid blue wall that gave Hillary a strong advantage . Now that she lost ,they hate the electoral system. If they succeed in intimidating enough Trump electors to go faithless then I believe that Congress will not certify the vote. There will be a Constitutional crisis that the 8 member SCOTUS could not solve. In bridge, you have wild cards called trump cards. The trump cards are really wild because they change from hand to hand, depending on the bidding.
