    With all of the hoopla on social media, the news, protests at state capitals around the nation, it looks like more electors will be faithless to Hillary than to Trump.

    2 faithless Trump electors out of Texas, but 4 faithless Hilary electors out of Washington state, with NV, CA, and HI yet to report. I bet we see some more faithless Hillary electors out of CA.

    Yep, more Dems are being faithless than Reps. Also, there were Dem electors in Minnesota and Maine that tried to leave Hillary but were thwarted.

    Well, California surprised me, and stayed faithful.

    One more faithless Hillary elector out of Hawaii, though.

    Hilarious. Lefty's were crying about how they were going to get a bunch of Trump electors to switch and instead they had the most defections.

    Five faithless Democrats electors, two wanna-be faithless Dem electors, and only two Republican faithless electors. Is that the final tally?

    Did you see the video of the circus at the Wisconsin vote?

    The surge of faithless electors should have been anticipated because politics is simply entertainment now. Those who jumped ship knew that the outcome was certain so they could "make a statement." God help us if electors at a future date should jump ship when their votes actually mean something.

    My favorite one was the person from this state who voted for that Native American all upset over the pipeline. Actually, I think this set a bad precedent and I hope all states decide to bound their delegates because of this - this was just a slap in the face to Hillary and to Kaine with that fool that voted Liz Warren as VP. Speaking of Texas, I see one of them went for Ron Paul and the poseur went for John Kasich.

    ;) Faithless Electors - shouldn't this be in the Calvinism/Arminianism Forum?
