What if Kerry wins by way of a faithless elector? |
|
In the past couple weeks we've seen various prominent conservatives or conservative groups giving suprise endorsements of Kerry.
What do you guys think would happen if a faithless elector were to jump ship and vote for Kerry, giving him the election?

it's legal but I do not expect it to happen...
Have you noticed the repugs are doing all they can to suppress voter turnout?

9. One elector threw away her vote in 2000 |
|
to protest DC's taxation without representation. The GOP would shit themselves if DC got representation in congress. That's why Dems should push for it.
