And those nine won't matter since they're pledged to Clinton. They wouldn't be voting for Trump in any event.
Why is this so damned hard to understand?
Thank you. Evidently it is so damned hard. The more I see this nonsense from the Hillary camp the more I think it's either a cult or a serious psychiatric problem.
Seriously? I would not put it past that corrupt HRC to behind the scenes threatening electors to vote for her. She would have the gall to walk into the WH after undermining the system. I am sure some of these electors are scared they will be suicided.. they better stay out of the gym.
all this will accomplish is to split the country worse than it already is. time to get over it, it we will soon have a president that may not be the most popular or likable person on earth, but all the libs or the Clinton followers are doing is pounding more nails into their coffin. We wonder why our high school and college kids act like babies, they are just following the lead of elected officials that should be mature enough to try and bring the country together, not tear it apart.
So far 9 have said they won't vote Trump and the largest amount was 6 under Madison I believe.
I was generalizing, not being precise. When you think of the number of electoral votes there are 9 is not even hardly worth talking about. I have big hands, 9 isn't a handful to me.
Electoral College - States That Pay The Most Are Least Represented
It's no wonder that flyover states love the electoral college. It overrepresents them electorally while they pay the least federally.
The urban states are subsidizing the rural states, and yet somehow in return, the rural states get more power at the voting booth.
"The gap between the two extremes is remarkable. South Dakota, one of the most empowered states in the country, received almost twice the return on taxes as California, the country’s most populated state, while also commanding nearly twice as much power per capita in the Electoral College.
"...By contrast, 19 of the 25 most empowered (and largely rural) states went for Mr. Trump.
But as our cities get wealthier and more diverse and begin to realize how the system is genuinely “rigged” against them, tectonic forces may well be unleashed."
States that pay the most where their votes count the least: New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, Connecticut, California, Washington, Oregon
States that pay the least where their votes count the most: Wyoming, Alaska, North Dakota, Hawaii, South Dakota, New Mexico, Vermont, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Montana, Mississippi, Idaho
rubbish, each state is represented in the electoral college by population. which is why california has 55 electoral votes, where as arizona has only 11. nice try but you, and whomever wrote that tripe failed.
Blue states pay more and their votes count less. Red states pay less and their votes count more. Yes, Trump supporters are loving the electoral college right now but Democrats have won the popular vote six out of the last seven elections. Blue states on average are more prosperous (what red states does Trump have hotels in?).

And you know what? No one give's a rat's behind unless you're liberal. The election is over. You lost big time. The recount is over. You lost big time again. Suck it up and stop whining. People like you make all liberals look bad.
Many rural Red States / Counties grow the food that feeds Liberals. They also provide the Fuel to put in their cars.
Somebody has to produce the Corn, Cotton and Whiskey that keeps the Mark Cubans or Michael Moores fat, drunk and happy.
