Texas electors face threats for defecting: 'Vote for Trump or we rape your wife and daughters'

A former Texas elector said this week that he and others had faced threats for refusing to cast their votes for President-elect Donald Trump.

After the election last month, Art Sisneros announced that he was resigning as an elector because he did not think Trump was “biblically qualified” to be president.

Sisneros revealed in an interview published by Texas Monthly on Tuesday that Christopher Suprun, an elector who lives in Dallas, faced violent threats after he said that he would cast his vote for “an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.”

According to Sisneros, Suprun asked him to share one of the threats in a Facebook post earlier this month. “You vote for Trump or we rape your wife and daughters with a knife before we kill you. Do as told or face consequences,” the threat warned. “He asked us to share that,” Sisneros explained. “He’s getting a lot of ugly stuff, as did I.”

Lock these sick fucks up and throw away the key. And I hope they don't vote Trump out of spite.
