"Hamilton Electors" spread the word on this group

http://www.hamiltonelectors.com/



What do we want to achieve?

Our goal is simple: persuade 37 Electors to either change their vote from Donald Trump to another qualified individual, or abstain from voting altogether.

This will trigger a vote among the US House of Representatives on who will be our next President. With a new vote comes a new opportunity for new leadership.

We urge them to select a Reasonable Republican who does not have Donald Trump’s questionable ethics, lack of policy knowledge and lack of relevant experience.

We urge our fellow Electors to unify behind a President who’s fit to lead and to pick the best person for the job of Commander-in-Chief.

Trump is an existential threat to the republic. Pence merely has bad policy ideas. Trump wants to be the American version of Putin. Pence is extremely conservative but he will not try to become a strongman dictator.

well, most of them do anyways. He's good for ratings. Pence is boring and won't be nearly as good at pushing back when called out for Republican overreach. The media won't love him.

if he gets 270 or not? It will go to the House and they'll elect him anyway.
