Could the Electoral College Still Make Hillary Clinton President?

At least six electors — members of the Electoral College whose votes actually elect the President — have vowed to cast ballots that don't align with the popular vote results of their states, Politico reported Tuesday.

If they carry out their intentions — in effect, becoming "faithless electors" — they would narrow Donald Trump's margin-of-victory in the Electoral College over Hillary Clinton.

One elector, Michael Baca said in a statement that he wouldn’t vote for Trump.

“The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as the last line of defense, and I think we must do all that we can to ensure that we have a Reasonable Republican candidate who shares our American values,” he said.

I was under the impression from other articles on this that at least three of the six electors (so far) were bound to vote for Clinton.  :shrug:

Article doesn't say they will vote Clinton over trump, just that they won't vote who they're pledged to.
