The real U.S. Presidential election will occur on 19 Dec.

Let us be clear on this. 29 states and the District of Columbia require electors to pledge that they will vote for their party's candidate. 21 do not. Two of the 21 have laws stating that the votes of "faithless electors" shall be void.

The Supreme Court has held that requiring pledges is Constitutional, but has never ruled on whether a state may punish an elector who votes against her pledge. The Supremes have said in dicta (i.e., a statement in an opinion that is not, in itself, binding) that there is an "assumed constitutional freedom of the elector under the Constitution, Art. II, § 1, to vote as he may choose."

None of the laws on punishing faithless electors or voiding their votes has ever been tested.

So there y'go, libbies. Your last, tiny sliver of hope. To be cruelly dashed on 19 Dec. when the darkness descends on Middle Earth forevermore.

Poor li'l hobbits.

What should be considered in this pipe-dream is that the electors for each state are pre-selected from each party and the party that wins the state sends their group of electors. Texas for example has 38 electoral college votes meaning there are 38 electors from the democrats and 38 from the republicans ready to go vote but only the 38 from the winning party will actually go and cast a vote. Under these conditions the likelihood that enough faithless electors would be found to change the result it is basically less than winning the lottery twice in a row.

Three Supreme Court Decisions have ruled clearly and emphatically that your right to vote consists of TWO parts:

1) the Right to cast a ballot, i.e., put a paper ballot into a ballot box, and;
2) Right to KNOW that your vote was counted accurately.

And the Big Media’s “Hillary’s winning” assertion contradicts everything we can see with our own eyes: yard signs 100 to 1 for Trump, Trump victories of 70% and even 80% in online polls with hundreds of thousands – and even millions of participants (in which, again, each person can vote only once per IP address), and — most importantly — huge crowd sizes day after day of 5000 to 25,000 for Trump as contrasted with usually a few hundred, or less, for Hillary, who does VERY FEW public events. The Trump crowds are wildly enthusiastic, while the Hillary events must employ cheer leaders to orchestrate crowd “enthusiasm.”
