"must be", "should be" are just wishful thinking. Even though of course it should be more than that, it should be imperative.

Not sure how much good it will do for some of the electors. Pam Bondi is an elector out of Florida, for instance. It won't matter to her, and to those like her.

Also, Bondi joined Trump's transition team. Then there's the bribe.


Prosperity preachers and prosperity politicians. I don't see much of a difference.

It was my understanding of neither candidate has the necessary 270 votes than the election goes to the House of Representaives as in the election of John Quincy Adams. However, if I remember correctly the vote is by state and not individual members. The Red states will never vote for Clinton so the delegations of Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania would have to decide for Clinton. I just don't see that many electors refusing to vote unless the Gropinfuhrer does something even more outlandish than he has done so far, but giving his talent for fucking things up there is always hope. In the meantime I am making plans for the future yaers. Ine day I want to leave the USA and the next I want to stay and fight.

the findings are a secret, throw it out and let everyone make up their own minds. It won't change many Trumpers minds but they can't plead ignotance in the future.
