Would this unusual strategy be a possibility?

[Guest guest]

According to the article below and what I have read in the past, an Electoral

College voter in some states can cast a ballot for a different candidate than

the one who got the most votes in his state. What if these people were

informed about the stolen election and voted their conscience instead of what

they

were told to vote? Does anyone know how to find these people and get them to

consider the facts?

There is also the chance that an Electoral College voter could cast a ballot

for a different candidate. Most of the time that is not a problem because of

the great measures the parties go through to select the electors.

The two most common ways to choose the nominees to the college are by state

party convention (36 states use this method) or by state party committee (10

states and the District of Columbia use this method).

There have been times when a so-called " faithless elector " bucked the system.

In 2000, one of the District of Columbia voters turned in a blank ballot.

Barbara Lett-Simmons told The Washington Post " it is an opportunity for us to

make blatantly clear our colonial status and the fact that we've been under an

oligarchy. "

Lett-Simmons was required by D.C. law to vote for the candidate who received

the most popular votes. Twenty-six states have similar laws. In 24 states,

electors may vote for any candidate.

On a few occasions, a " faithless elector " has voted for another candidate. In

1988, a voter from West Virginia cast a ballot for Lloyd Bentsen instead of

Michael Dukakis. In 1976, an elector from Washington voted for Ronald Reagan

instead of Gerald Ford.

Although some states threaten " faithless electors " with penalties, no one has

ever been prosecuted.
