A group of some six Democratic electors are attempting to sway their counterparts in the Republican Party to become “faithless electors” and cast their vote against Donald Trump, in an effort to block the billionaire from achieving a majority in the Electoral College when the group meets on December 19.
Traditionally, electors vote for the candidate selected by the people of their respective states, though they are not legally obligated to do so. “Faithless electors” are those who vote contrary to the electorate’s choice.
The protesting electors, hailing from Colorado and Washington state, are mostly Bernie Sanders supporters.They hope to convince 37 Republican electors to vote instead for John Kasich or Mitt Romney, in order to keep Trump from achieving a majority, in which case the House of Representatives would have to decide the election.
