Fuzzy bears!
about as significant as a mosquito on an elephant's ass.
experience with that?
Yep--it's not rocket science. People who cast the electoral college votes are similar to people who hand out ribbons after a T-ball game, or on a high school track field. IOW--Ceremony only. They aren't the judgement callers, nor can they change the outcome of an election.
The Secretary of State is the one who certifies the vote and has the power to ask for a recount in close election, and he/she would quickly replace any protest ceremony idiots.
And as you'll note in Washington all Electoral College participants signed a pledge to support and vote for the Democrat nominee.
U. S. Electoral College: Who Are the Electors? How Do They Vote?
Gee thanks for sharing, but not what I was implying
You posted an entire thread here, on someone who may make a protest--who has signed a PLEDGE--to vote for the winner. If they don't they're fined $1000.00, and over ruled anyway by the Secretary of State, and will most certainly lose their state house seat in the process.
An electoral college participant cannot overrule the outcome of the majority popular vote.
So what's the point of this thread?
If there were enough faithless voters in an election, it could change the outcome of an election. It hasn't happened yet, although in 1836 all 23 electors from Virginia refused to vote for the Democratic vice presidential candidate, which kept him from getting the majority needed. It went to the Senate and they voted to have that candidate, Richard Johnson, become vice president anyway.
You can read about it here : How a ‘faithless elector’ in Georgia could cost Donald Trump an electoral college vote
So, while relatively rare, it is possible for faithless electors to change which candidate becomes president.
