Lessig: 20 electors could flip
Harvard law Professor Lawrence Lessig has offered free representation to any elector willing to vote against Trump.
Click here for reuse options!Larry Lessig, a Harvard University constitutional law professor who made a brief run for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, claimed Tuesday that 20 Republican members of the Electoral College are considering voting against Donald Trump, a figure that would put anti-Trump activists more than halfway toward stalling Trump’s election.
Lessig’s anti-Trump group, “Electors Trust,” has been offering pro bono legal counsel to Republican presidential electors considering ditching Trump and has been acting as a clearinghouse for electors to privately communicate their intentions.
“Obviously, whether an elector ultimately votes his or her conscience will depend in part upon whether there are enough doing the same. We now believe there are more than half the number needed to change the result seriously considering making that vote,” Lessig said.

I don’t believe that they have the moral fiber to do the right thing.

OldFart is correct. Deflectors are Republicans and Republicans Travel in Packs like Dogs. It would take More than 38 Republican Deflectors to Elect Hillary and make it stick.

20 isn’t enough and really DMS.
But it would look good on paper, right next to the final count of the popular vote…
