First "Faithless Elector" Emerges In Minnesota, Refuses To Vote For Hillary Clinton
For all the anticipatory rhetoric about a potential wave of Electors refusing to endorse Trump, it may come as a surprise that the first "faithless elector" to emerge in Monday's Electoral College vote was in Minnesota has refused to vote not for Trump but for Hillary Clinton.
As the Hill reports (http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/311055-minnesota-elector-refuses-to-back-clinton), Muhammad Abdurrahman, a former Bernie Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention, attempted to vote for no candidate, according to The Associated Press's Kyle Potter.

Faithless Elector

From the AP: "Maine Democratic elector casts vote for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders for president instead of Hillary Clinton."

The Maine elector who voted for Bernie Sanders has his vote ruled "improper." He has switched the vote to Clinton.

What "coup" is that? This transition was done in accordance with the law, including the Constitution. The Clinton Machine is who attempted - and failed - at a coup.

Both political parties were subdued and a huge amount of power shifted hands.

I agree with you though a Clinton win would have been a coup as well.

Whether one likes Trump or not, this is the "peaceful transition of power" that the Constitution has called for for over 200 years.

The Clinton Machine attempted to subvert that system, and hilariously had it backfire on them - instead of dozens of Republican electors voting against him, 4 Washington state Democrat electors refused to vote for her, 1 in Maine attempted to vote for Sanders, 1 in Minnesota attempted to vote for "no candidate." Only 2 Republicans in Texas voted for Kasich and Ron Paul, instead of Trump.

“Normally a political footnote, the electoral vote took on unexpected import this winter after Mr. Trump’s upset of Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote, spawned a determined effort to block his path to the presidency by grass-roots advocates who saw him as unfit for the White House and, to some, a threat to the political system.”

I disagree, I think we avoided an attempted coup at the ballot box using the internet alternate media. The legacy media has no legs any longer and has alienated both the left and the right with their failings and lies

Gotta give a lot of credit to Trump and his Team of Deplorables. They flat kicked the ass off Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, the DNC, the Legacy Media, the CIA, a butt load of international billionaires and a freaking army of pink haired SJW's... pretty impressive.

...so far. Next let's see if CONgress certifies him (I suspect so) and if he gets seated. Then the battle starts in earnest.

Something seems off.

She went quietly. She pushed boundaries though.
