Would it be ok to gofumdme to raise approx 40 million

1million to the first 40 republican electors who vote for hillary?

I'm like why the hell not?? This whole election has been corrupted by voter suppression, russian interference, FBI interference, media corruption, fake news, etc.

What's a little bribery in the face of all that.

Thoughts??.

A little bribery can't make that much of a difference, the whole system is already a corrupt sewer.

The are electors who said they would not vote for Trumplethinskin. Some state have laws that bind electors. The punishments are not severe, but you can bet the vindictive bastards will press charges. Between pro bono services (which have already been promised) and GoFundMe sites to pay fines, the GOP will declare elector's votes to be commodities, for sale to the highest bidder. The Electorial College is headed for a crisis and all we can do is watch.

Kneel before your King, peasants! Kneel!
