I think that if there are any who are considering becoming "faithless electors" and casting their

[Atticus]

electoral vote for Trump even when Biden won their state, they should understand that, given the passionate positive response to Biden's landslide popular vote victory---how to say this?---their betrayal could prove to be very dangerous---to them.

1. Nobody is. Electors are selected from the most faithful of the party faithful.

As an example one of the electors for NY is Hillary Clinton. What do you think the odds are that Hillary Clinton is going to cast an electoral vote for Trump? 1 in billion? 1 in a trillion? 1 in a fucking never?

Every couple years one or two electors cast a ballot for someone as a political statement almost never the other candidate. One or two out of 538.

2. Not likely to happen, but I would hope no one would perpetrate violence against them. I don't think

tell the potential faithless electors that 75 million of us will organize a 24/7 operation that not one of them will ever be able to leave their homes again for the rest of their lives without a minimum of 100 of us SCREAMING in their faces.

It will be legal what we will do and you will NEVER have peace again.

We will follow you to the store and when you get out to buy your groceries all 100 or more of us will SCREAM at you and this will not stop for the REST of your miserable fucking life.

I remember grasping at that straw myself

6. And none of them did it, did they.

Over 200,000 people would be alive though if they did.

7. There were 7 electors who did not vote for the winners in their states in 2016.

2 Republicans and 5 Democrats. 4 of the Democrats were from Washington, which now has a law requiring them to vote for their state's popular vote winner.

9. None of the Democrats voted for Hillary
