Patriotic Democratic electors follow their conscience, defect from Clinton
By Ethel C. Fenig

It is now official; per the US Constitution, the electors of the Electoral College met on Monday and following the wishes of their voters officially chose Donald Trump (R) as the 45th president of the US.  Despite (because of?) the desperately deplorable acts and wishes of the irredeemable

"racist, sexist, xenophobic, you name it" Hillary Clinton supporters, decency trumped hate.  The Trump electors cast their ballots for Trump as they were elected to do; two from Texas, defected.  Thus Trump's election victory of November 8, when he easily accumulated well over the 270 electoral votes necessary to win, was officially validated.

This should make the Holloweird people who made the commercially suggesting electors "vote their conscious" deliriously happy.  :silly:

Maj. Bill Martin:
Oddly, those people have a better argument than do the ones who wanted to vote against Trump.

In the case of Trump, the involvement of the Russians was reported long before the general election, so there is no argument that voters were tricked or deceived.  They saw the emails, heard the arguments about the Russians, and cast their ballots with that knowledge.

In the case of Clinton, the machinations of the DNC weren't exposed until after primary voters had cast their ballots, meaning that votes for her were based on facts deliberately hidden by the DNC.  So, the argument that they are not morally obligated to follow the pledge to vote for the DNC nominee is somewhat more legitimate.

Although it still sucks.
