"Four members of the Electoral College in Washington state cast their votes for a candidate other than Clinton, the statewide popular vote winner.

It’s the first time in four decades the state’s electors have broken from the popular vote for president. Washington’s 12 electors met Monday afternoon in the state Capitol to complete the constitutional formality. Clinton got eight votes while other candidates got the remaining four."

Electors in Michigan and Florida have cast their combined 45 votes for Trump, making his his Electoral College total jump closer to the amount required to formally win the presidency.

"A Democratic Maine elector’s faithless vote for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders was ruled improper. He has switched his vote to Clinton."

Four more electors go off script—and, once, again, all four were originally supposed to be in Clinton’s column. In Washington, where Clinton beat Trump by about 16 points, three of the state’s 12 electors cast ballots for Colin Powell, while a fourth opts for Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American who has been active in the Dakota pipeline protests.

Trump and 131 for Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump needs 270 votes for his Election Day victory to become official.'
