Electoral College Alert! 40 Members Now Calling for Investigation into Russian Interferance in Election
Get ready for some serious Shenanigans in the next 6 days before the December 19th Electoral college vote!!!
Forty members of the Electoral College on Tuesday signed a letter demanding an intelligence briefing on Russian interference in the election ahead of their Dec. 19 vote.
Ten electors originally signed the letter when it was published Monday, and 30 more have since added their names.
The open letter — led by Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) — urged Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to give a detailed briefing on President-elect Donald Trump‘s ties to Russia.
“We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States,” the letter read.
The Clinton campaign applauded the effort Monday, saying it had repeatedly warned about Russian interference aimed at swaying the election in Trump’s favor.
“Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign,” Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement. “We now know that the CIA has determined Russia’s interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.”
The signees of the letter are all Democratic electors, aside from one Republican: Chris Suprun from Texas.
Suprun has already pledged not to vote for Trump, and claimed last week that other Republican electors plan to pick an alternative, too.
Bipartisan efforts in Congress are underway to investigate the CIA’s conclusion that Russian interference swayed the election in Trump’s favor.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday said the Senate Intelligence Committee should investigate the findings.
“We’re going to follow the regular order,” he said. “It’s an important subject and we intend to review it on a bipartisan basis.”

The electoral college should be disbanded for not doing the job they professed to do. If they don’t act in accordance to the public will, they what is their agenda? Have they been threatened, bought off, or ?? I can see where a lot of the rich ‘fat cats’ who own/run the democrat party would relish the idea of Trump not being affirmed to what the public wants. Their system is so corrupt anything goes and they seem to want to drag down anyone who abhors the constitutional rights the electors took a pledge to support. Those electors should be punished no matter what happens for even thinking of violating their pledge. Evil begets evil !!
