Democratic electors are mostly silent, but the ones who have come out are claiming they will NOT cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton if she wins in their states. This could have a HUGE impact. It is looking more and more likely that Trump could win the popular vote, but lose the electoral college — if more and more members of the college refuse to cast their votes for Clinton things could get very interesting.

The elector in Washington state is called a “faithless elector” and will face a $1,000 civil fine if he refuses to vote for Hillary Clinton. How many more “faithless electors” will we uncover in the next three days?
