EVERGREEN HEADLINE: Democrat Pollster Asks Union Leaders to Lie to Their Members.

 

 

 

 

 

AS IF THERE WEREN’T ALREADY MANY REASONS TO VOTE FOR HIM. Survey: 35% of federal workers may consider leaving their jobs if Trump wins.

 

Who says a moderate Republican like Trump wouldn’t shrink the federal government!

 

 

 

 

 

WHEREVER WOULD THEY HAVE GOTTEN THAT IDEA? Poll: Public overwhelmingly thinks media is in the tank for Clinton.

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Trump’s Closer: How Did Hillary Get So Rich?



“The Clintons made several millions off of book deals, but made a lot more off of their connections to power and monied interests, including $57.5 million during the four years Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. Donald Trump has occasionally made reference to this, but he’s making it an explicit argument in the final week with his new ad, “Corruption.”



Washington Post analyst Chris Cillizza is impressed. . . . Don’t forget that the Clintons had been in federal office continuously from January 1992 to February 2013, a period of twenty-one years, while they amassed a nine-figure net worth. Only a small portion of that came from book advances, while their speeches and especially Bill’s consultancy income derived almost entirely from Hillary’s status as a Senator and later as Secretary of State.



(See Laureate Education for an $18 million example, where Bill was paid eight figures to be an honorary chancellor.)”

It takes 270 Electoral votes to Win. If neither candidate gets a majority of the 538 electoral votes, the election for President is decided in the House of Representatives, with each state delegation having one vote.

 

A majority of states (26) is needed to win.

 

Senators would elect the Vice-President, with each Senator having a vote.

 

538 Electoral votes , DC having 3

 

Winner take all except

 

Nebraska 5

 

Maine 4

 

Supreme Court could tie a decision unlike 2000

 

Although it is possible for an Elector to cast his or her vote for someone other than for the popular vote winner in their state, this is quite rare in modern times. As a result, Electoral Votes for a state tend to be "all or nothing".

Maine and Nebraska have taken a slightly different approach in recent years. These states allocate two Electoral Votes to the popular vote winner, and then one each to the popular vote winner in each Congressional district (2 in Maine, 3 in Nebraska) in their state. This creates multiple popular vote contests in these states, which could lead to a split Electoral Vote.

Electoral College


The U.S. Constitution contains very few provisions relating to the qualifications of Electors. Article II, section 1, clause 2 provides that no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector


Political parties often choose Electors for the slate to recognize their service and dedication to that political party. They may be state elected officials, state party leaders, or people in the state who have a personal or political affiliation with their party's Presidential candidate.


There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their states. Some states, however, require Electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categories—Electors bound by state law and those bound by pledges to political parties.


The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No Elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.






December 19, 2016



The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots.




Americans vote for the president on Election Day, but they're really casting votes for each state's electors, who will decide the next president on Dec. 19.


Washington state elector says he won't vote for Clinton


Robert Satiacum, a member of the Puyallup Tribe, supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, which the Vermont senator won by approximately a 3-to-1 margin.
