Washington (CNN)Ohio Gov. John Kasich doesn't want to take Donald Trump's place as President-elect of the United States.

The former Republican presidential candidate, who ran against Trump in the primary, tweeted Tuesday asking that electors in the Electoral College not cast their votes for him when they meet December 19.

Kasich tweeted a statement that said, "I am not a candidate for president and ask that electors not vote for me when they gather later this month. Our country had an election and Donald Trump won. The country is divided and there are certainly raw emotions on both sides stemming from the election. But this approach, as well meaning as it is, will only serve to further divide our nation, when unity is what we need."

They can vote for someone that was on the ballot.

I don't think randomly picking a president is viable.

Actually they can vote for anyone, on the ballot or not. It's been done.

Kasich is referring to this guy and others like him. He mentioned Kasich's name as an alternative.

I don't think the elector's end game is electing Kasich or anyone else specifically --- it's refusing to cast his vote for Rump. Another Texas elector said he'd resign rather than do it.
