What Happens if the Electoral College Goes Rogue?

[Missouri_Mike]

You and the rest of the loony left didn't seem to care when the electoral college failed to stopa know-nothing dangerous fascist from infecting the White House in both 2008 and 2012 so forgive me for calling bullshit on your phony hysterics. As someone said elections have consequences and at the end of the day I won.

It's amazing these people keep claiming fascist while trying to shove a candidate nobody wants for President up our asses. Fascist means what now?

"Nobody wants." Do I need to remind your stupid ass that Hillary got nearly 3 million more votes than your guy?

Where are the Libertarians like kaz on this, since they all cherish and revere the Federalist papers so much, and constantly cite them? Federalist #68 clearly encourages electors to vote against the popular wish if they deem the president-elect as unfit for the office, based on a variety of benchmarks.

Exactly. It's literally in their job description to prevent a man like Trump from being sworn in.

DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS ELECTORS.

Don't call him a libertarian. He is a pure blooded nutter hiding behind a sham identity.

Shit for brains, more people in more states voted for trump.
Progressives still don't understand that the electoral college determines who becomes president…

 

[Onyx]

Given the huge gap in electoral votes, it is unlikely that enough electors will be faithless. You also have to consider the fact that all the electors you would need to turn are Republican, since that's how the system works.

There will definitely be more faithless electors this election than any other though.

Faithless electors belong at club gitmo....

You may have not noticed this but no matter how many Californians voted for the pig doesn't mean she won. Nobody wants the vote changed that actually matters. Check a map. It's been a pretty good few weeks for the fly over people.

The electors were nominated by their political party because they would support the presidential candidate. That is why faithless electors are so rare.

3 Scenarios.

I don't believe enough of them have the balls to go rogue - but I certainly hope I'm wrong. I prefer Hillary - but anyone but Trump!

If they don't, then they are COMPLETELY useless and are no longer relevant. They better step up to the plate and do the very thing they were designed to do in the first place -- prevent a know-nothing dangerous fascist from infecting the White House -- or the EC has got to go.

Crying from an idiot. You are retarded.

You realize that the electoral college was created specifically with faithless electors in mind?

They were supposed to serve as a check and balance. The founding fathers believed the majority was too stupid to completely elect their own rulers.

When were these electors chosen? Before or after Trump was confirmed to be the nominee? Because if it was after and dems are claiming they won't vote for him that's complete bullshit. They became electors knowing full well Trump was going to be who they voted for if he won their state.

How many times do we need to remind your stupid ass Presidential elections are not decided by the popular vote? FYI that did not just start this year

At the same time during the party convention. It hardly matters though.

Since the electors are Republican, their chances of supporting the other parties candidate over their own is low.

So, if they do not agree with you then they are useless?

That is an awfully arrogant stance.
