39. Pretty quick? The EC vote took the normal amount of time.

Oct 2018

The Electoral College vote takes less then a day. With few exceptions, they vote the way their respective States voted. If the Electors voted in a way contrary to the popular votes of their states, then I could see why they should be investigated. But they didn't. They are basically just rubber stamps and vote however their states did. I'm not getting why you think someone would waste their time and money trying to bribe the EC members. Trump and his cronies, sure. The Electors, no.
