| Faithless Electors |
| 2016-12-20 |
| h/t Instapundit The only known "faithless" presidential electors to not vote for the candidate who won their states have so far been Democrats refusing to support 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The Electoral College has been gathering in each state capital on Monday to officially vote for the next president of the United States. One-third of Washington’s electors did not vote for Clinton despite her winning the state last month, making them the only "faithless" electors to have their votes officially count in their state’s final tally. Out of Washington’s 12 total Electoral College votes, eight went to Clinton, three went to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and one went to Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American elder who has been opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline project in North Dakota. |
