I did not know that Minnesota had a "faithless elector" in 2016

He said he did what he did because he was protesting Minnesota's law according to which faithless electors can be replaced if they don't vote as pledged. https://www.bustle.com/articles/200948-who-is-muhammad-abdurrahman-the-wannabe-faithless-elector-tried-to-go-rogue
