Hillarys people are some of the most irrational bunch of idiots ive seen in a while. Scream about democracy , then when things dont go their way they try to subvert rule of law by intimidation and blackmail.

Wait. If they're bound in most places, why even have them? This is something about the electoral college that doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't be people. Should be automatic "candidate won, candidate gets votes". Why do we need people to cast the votes we already cast?

Because free people frequently vote for their own destruction. The purpose of having electors is to restrain the mad impulses that sometimes overrun the mob. The Founders had just watched the French Revolution, and were eager to keep men like Robespierre out of power, democracy be damned. They also had the example of the Venetian Republic, which lasted a thousand years by electing the Doge through multiple layers of voters.

"The patriot, like the Christian, must learn that to bear revilings and persecutions is a part of his duty; and in proportion as the trial is severe, firmness under it becomes more requisite and praiseworthy."
--Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1805. ME 11:73

This probably wouldn't happen in my home state, however, if it did, there would be a cleansing of Democrats.
One can only dream.

The identities of electors are a matter of public record. And for good reason, their job is too important to be left to an anon. While It's reprehensible what the Hillbots are doing, this article is way oversensationalizing things.

The electors are Republican party stalwarts and hardly swayed by Hillary's harpies. If they do queer the vote, they'd better not go home afterward, but get lost quickly.

This is what you get for letting Hillary off the hook. Sociopaths don't know gratitude. She needs to go to jail.
