Anti-Trump electors form fundraising committee

A coalition of anti-Trump Electoral College members has opened a nonprofit political committee that enables it to raise funds in support of a three-week mad dash to halt Donald Trump's election.

The group, which has dubbed itself Hamilton Electors, registered a 527 political committee with Colorado's secretary of state on Tuesday; 527 is a reference to the section of the federal tax code that provides for tax-exempt political organizations.

Baca and his allies are seeking to replace Trump with a mainstream Republican — such as Mitt Romney or John Kasich. So far, no Republican electors have publicly joined their cause, though the Democratic electors insist they're privately making inroads.

1. Kind of pathetic.

Electors from states where a plurality of people voted for Clinton are going to vote for Clinton; electors from states where a plurality of people voted for Trump are going to vote for Trump.

The most loyal of party activists are selected by their parties to be electors -- they aren't going to change especially if their candidate won.

This is just a sad fantasy ... understandable ... but a fantasy nevertheless.

2. Not all Repubs are as nuts & depraved as Trump. I see this as a last line of defense if recounts

can't flip the election. It's a very long shot but I wish them good luck. The scumbucket reveals himself day by day.

A Trump elector has already resigned because he can't vote for Trump. There are legions more like him imho.
