The official Electoral College vote occurs on December 19 and will make Donald Trump’s election an official reality. However, there are reports that at least six Democratic electors, including Bernie Sanders supporters in Washington and Colorado, that have planned to cast their ballots against the majority in their states in hopes to “undermine the Electoral College’s legitimacy,” according to Epoch Times.

Dubbed as the “faithless electors,” they plan to shrink Trump’s margin which now stands at 306 votes with Hillary Clinton at 232 thanks to Michigan’s 16 electoral votes finally been called for Trump. He won the state by a mere 10,000 votes.

Michael Baca is one of those dissenting voters. He said in a statement:

“The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as the last line of defense, and I think we must do all that we can to ensure that we have a Reasonable Republican candidate who shares our American values.”

Another revolter, Bret Chiafalo, said, “All we’re trying to do is honor what the Founding Fathers gave us.”

An unidentified elector told Politico the revolt could challenge “the whole concept of the Electoral College:

“The controversy and the uncertainty that would immediately blow up into a political firestorm in the U.S. would cause enough people — my hope is — to look at the whole concept of the Electoral College."

Though California isn’t involved in the anti-Trump vote, a recent report uses the state to show exactly why the Electoral College works for the good of the entire United States. From Legal Insurrection:

Let me begin this exercise by highlighting the claim by promoters of #CalExit: California is so vast (economically, regionally, and in population) and so different culturally, that it deserves to be its own nation:

[T]here are some really good signs that the Golden State and the other 49 are literally two ships going in different directions.

Let’s look at election night:

1) Mr. Trump won with 290 Electoral votes with Michigan’s 16 votes still up in the air. It will probably go to Mr. Trump, closing the books at 306-232.

2) In California, Mrs. Clinton beat Mr. Trump by 2.5 million votes.

Take California out of the picture, and Mr. Trump wins the popular vote, and this big “blue” mark is not on the map.

So, let’s assume this inane idea succeeds. Driven by the progressive idea that the popular vote must be deciding factor for national leadership, it will be the vast population centers that ultimately pick the “President of California”.

And while the rest of the 49 states celebrate a rapid return to governance that embraces free markets and reasoned policies, the Country of California would be controlled by Bay Area elites who have no desire to address the concerns of the remainder of the state.
