Anti-Trump Harvard Professor Concedes Defeat “Only Handful of Electors will Vote Against Trump”
It looks like the plan to “upset” the Electoral College has backfired for Harvard law professor and progressive activist Larry Lessig.
As of today, only a “handful” of electors will (maybe) vote against Donald Trump.
This is the same man, who days ago said that his efforts were working and he was “close” to blocking Trump’s win.
Fake news, Larry?
From Breitbart:
Lessig co-founded a group called the Electors Trust, which is leading a last-ditch effort to stop Trump from becoming president by providing legal representation to renegade electors and offering them a confidential space to air their intentions.
Speaking in an interview set to air Sunday on this reporter’s national weekend talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” Lessig commented on a claim he made last week that 20 Republican electors are considering voting against Trump.
In the interview, which was recorded on Friday, Lessig cited other activists working to impact the Electoral College vote as claiming that the number of electors thinking about casting ballots for other politicians instead of Trump could be as high as 32 Republicans.
Lessig admitted that unless that number climbs to 40 the effort is doomed to fail:
“But I think that we are not going to see more than a handful who actually vote against Donald Trump unless that number climbs above 40. Because I think there are many people who think it is just not worth it given especially the pretty explicit threats that have been made against the electors who exercise their constitutional prerogative.”
The claim of 32 electors waffling on their votes could not be substantiated since so far only one Republican elector, Chris Suprun, has announced publicly he will vote against Trump, doing so in a news-making New York Times opinion piece earlier this month.
Two sources from within the Republican National Committee told Politico the RNC has been in contact with most of the GOP electors numerous times and the committee is only aware of one elector, Suprun, who is at risk of voting against Trump.

I will not comment since I think this is reassuring and I am optimistic that elctors will back the people’s choice which is of course Mr Trump. But one thing is most annoying and it is the fact that every time I am trying to read one of the article in Thruthfeed, I am being redirected to AppStore to purchase a stupid kid game I’d never buy anyway even if my kids would be toddlers! I am quite positive there is no viruses on my IPad and it I said very frustrating since what you are publishing is generally most interesting.
It was the same “ploy” CNN, WP, NYTimes and others used during the campaign: “Inflate” the numbers to give the appearance of “success” and thereby get others “on board”.
NEWS FLASH:
It won’t be “a hand full”.
It might not even be one. The Texas GOP is considering removing that commie turd who misrepresented himself.
