Lessig: 20 Trump electors could flip (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/donald-trump-electors-lessig-232598)
Larry Lessig, a Harvard University constitutional law professor who made a brief run for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, claimed Tuesday that 20 Republican members of the Electoral College are considering voting against Donald Trump, a figure that would put anti-Trump activists more than halfway toward stalling Trump’s election...

...Lessig’s claims contradict the assertions of Republican National Committee sources who report that a GOP whip operation (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/rnc-trump-electoral-college-232537) intended to ensure Republican electors remain loyal to Trump found only one elector — Chris Suprun of Texas — would defy Trump...

Not if they like being among the living.

Maybe if they are closet Bernie electors.

But love trumps hate.

We have seen that love on full display since the election

From everything except history back to the 1900s this does not exist. This is an all new precident to steal the presidential election. Trump however powers on without worry so I won't worry either. He has people in places to deal with this. Pretty sure he has this menial stuff covered.

I watched an interview with a Michigan elector. In Michigan and some other states (not all), if an elector flips, the state would reject the vote and assign another elector. Plus congress also checks the votes, and if it is flipped can reject it. Not sure what remedy the congress has.

I guess you have to consider the odds that the Republicans would choose to go forward with house majority under Clinton or under Trump.

And how is someone not talking to this guy about interfering with an election?

They are just not using words.
Probally sending him pictures of shiny black things that make simple sounds.
