[Auld Phart]

will Trump get?

 

[Stratford57]

If EC respects the US Constitution and the voters will, then yes.

Besides prison has been waiting for Hillary way too long.

Trump instructed you all not to care about that anymore.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

he could get more, as u know

 

[FA_Q2]

he could get more, as u know

But he wont.

At the end of the day though it is rather immaterial. I do not see almost 40 electors changing their votes. Not going to happen.

 

[OKTexas]

He'll get 306.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

He'll get 306.

[EvilCat Breath]

I heard the same thing.

if Trump gets closer to 320 votes, Obama will open up an investigation on China. they hacked it !!!!

 

[OKTexas]

He'll get 306.

According to the supreme court they don't have that option. Electors are acting as agents of the States via the winning party in that State, it is not a discretionary position.

That is not entirely correct.

Faithless elector - Wikipedia

According to the Blair case a state can hole electors accountable and/or replace them should they fail to pledge for a specific candidate. Not all states have laws that bind electors. In this case, Oregon does have a faithless elector law:

ORS 248.355 - Selection of presidential electors - 2015 Oregon Revised Statutes

That law, however, does not seem to have any enforcement options to it. If the electors pledge to Trump and then vote otherwise I do not see any repercussions to that action.

Whatever they may think is not relevant - most electors CAN change their minds. That is how the system works.

It is rare though as most electors are chosen from the winning party. How much of a future do you think such faithless electors have in said party?

The Oregon electors are pledged to hilly.

He'll get 306.

He'll get 306 but damn I would laugh my ass off if after all this whining and crying the dems had to actually go to court to get two electors back that defied them.

They could be subject to any State maleficence or betrayal of public trust laws. Electors voluntarily agree to the party rules to support the nominee of the party when they enter their names to become electors and if their party wins, they are bound by those rules. They would have no defense for not following the rules.

Excuse the misstatement.

They could be.

Again, I do not see the statute that would apply to them. I am not saying that it is or is not there - just that I do not see any actual legal connection with the law I cited and what happens when an elector breaks that pledge.
