Law Firm Offering Free Legal Advice To Electors Who Don’t Want To Vote For Trump

Obama promised a smooth transition of power...and again hasn't delivered.

Hillary declared refusing to accept the election results would be undermining the pillars on which our democracy rests...and since the election has taken a sledgehammer to those pillars.

Snowflakes on this board tried to villainize Trump for suggesting he might challenge the election results but have Praised Hillary for doing so...

The Left are self/party-serving lying hypocritical partisans who will say and do anything to get and keep power and control.

Still hoping against hope, aren't we Lakhota?

Yup. Its peat and repeat as long as Shittingbull can manage it.

She really should get over the butthurt. Trump won. Hillary lost. That's the way it is.

Trump will be sworn in on 20 Jan and hopefully Shittingbull will be gone. LOL

One of the faithless electors you cited in the OP already said he isn't going to cast his vote for Hillary. And even if you get your way and 37 of them do peel off, that doesn't necessarily mean they will vote for Hillary.

In that case, the election goes to Congress.

It's lose-lose for you.
Ya, and that crazy fucker cites DARTH VADER as why he's not.

Guaranteed his career as an elector is over. What a moron.
I find Lakhota''s lack of faith in the Electoral College disturbing.
If it ever goes the other way you know they would be all for the EC. It never will of course Libs have a lock on NY and California and they have no problem with a popular dictatorship.

When people talk about smooth transition, we are talking about keeping government functions, such as paying bills, salaries, legal matter, incomplete projects, scheduled meetings, moving the new president into the white house with his staff, setting up the president's agenda, and briefing the new president on pending actions. The Presidential Transition Act provides the funds, now about 9 million dollars for office space, temporary staff, and relocation expenses. Transition is really not a political matter. It's getting the new president and staff in and the old president and staff out with as little interruption to government functions as possible.

There are 538 people with the fate of the election in their hands, and they can now seek counsel from high-powered lawyers.

WASHINGTON ― A new organization is offering pro bono legal assistance to any Electoral College member who decides to break with the will of the people in his or her state, in hopes of derailing President-elect Donald Trump before he is sworn in.

The vote to determine who will become president is set to take place on Dec. 19. Christopher Suprun, a paramedic who lives in Texas and is one of the 538 members of the Electoral College, announced this week that he will not cast his vote for the president-elect.

Larry Lessig, a Harvard Law School professor heading the project, told The Huffington Post that the law firm Durie Tangri handles intake and may wind up representing Suprun. Durie Tangri generally plans to offer confidential advice to anonymous electors, but Lessing said Suprun’s case was different.

“He came to us just as he published his piece in the Times,” he said. “Our assumption is we’re talking to people who want to be anonymous, so he’s an exception. The whole community is going to step in and do what they can to help him.”

Lessig, who has been a prolific online fundraiser in the past, said his group is raising funds in addition to counting on some substantial early commitments.

“The motivation was the recognition that there were going to be a lot of electors who were considering what we believe is their constitutional right, to vote their conscience. Whether it makes sense to do it depends on who else is doing it,” Lessig said, adding that Durie Tangri would be willing to tell electors how many other electors had committed to voting against Trump.

The law firm also plans to partner with groups doing work on the ground.

Trump needs 270 electors to support him when they gather in state capitals around the country later this month. He won enough states to give him the support of 306, so anti-Trump forces need to persuade 36 more electors. That effort is underway, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich being named as a potential alternative. Trump annihilated Kasich in the Republican primary.

Sounds like a plan - but December 19 is rapidly approaching.


Maybe they should look up the definition of "accessory before the fact" and "conspiracy". The lawyers may very well need their own lawyers.
