Sometime in the 70's or 80's, when I was on
the road to or from Dallas, I listened to
Limbaugh.. just once or twice.

Talk radio was a bit different then. My favorite
was actually Steve Edwards. But even that got
old after awhile.

will vote how their states voted. There’s a chance a few of them will be unfaithful but it won’t be near the amount that Trump needs.

Remember how that amounted to absolutely nothing (2 of Trump's electors voted faithlessly, and 1 of Clinton's did).

No hope is required. Never in the history of the modern political parties has faithless electors altered the outcome. One or two may "defect" to make a political statement. It won't change anything.

Already been debunked roughly a thousand times. Trump will not be gaining more than three dozen electors.

There haven't been more than 10 since 1896 and that was only because one party ran multiple candidates.

It's a pipe dream. Treat it accordingly and ignore it.

I'm just worried about what Trump/McConnell/Barr are planning to do to deny and circumvent the election results.
