The Secretary of State is unable to say who they voted for?

I don't get this. Why go faithless in this situation? I guess this is some kind of far left revolt. I did not expect them to start it like this but here we go.

@sbr. Saw a story about recent poll with 52% of GOP voters thinking he won popular vote.

he did.  Once you erase the millions of illegal votes for the Dems.  That's what he said.

I just wonder how can some people rig the Presidential election but not the Congress at the same time.

Three voted for Colin Powell and not sure who the fourth voted.

I'm sure it makes perfect sense in the Bernieverse.

I told you they were the problem, pages ago.

Wait. What? Colin Powell? Is he being courted by the Democrats now?

I heard on the radio that one elector in Maine (?) voted for Bernie.

edit: looking on the map, it was not Maine.  Not sure who they said it was now.

Their thinking is solid, actually. They aren't going to get any GOP electors to switch to HRC, and they aren't going to get enough votes for any other Dems, so the soundest plan is to have all HRC electors switch to a nicer Republican candidate who might actually seem like a good alternative for unhappy GOP electors too.

Well they probably should have coordinated this place a bit better

He voted for.....Faith Spotted Eagle.

An unexpected contender.

I would have thought all electors would cast their ballots simultaneously.

Huh. Legbiter posted that tweet it was from Maine. Possible OMG fake news.

That was probably the Injun elector who earlier said he would not cast his EV for Hillary.
