Ahead Of Monday’s Vote, Electors Getting DEATH THREATS To Change Their Vote

From the Left, Republican Electors are being harassed and badgered – even threatened – by liberals who want them to change their vote from Donald Trump to, well, anybody else, when the Electors meet to make Trump’s election victory official.

On the Right, Christopher Suprun, the lone GOP Elector who said he can’t vote for Trump is being subjected to a public smear campaign. The site GotNews.com has a salacious article alleging Suprun – a 9/11 first responder – is a bankrupt, adulterous dirtbag whose Sept. 11 charity isn’t even a real charity. None of the allegations have anything to do with his decision to not vote for Donald Trump.

It’s enough to never want to be an elector. Arizona elector Sharon Geise said she has received more than 1,500 emails demanding she not carry out her duty to vote for the president-elect.

“They just keep coming and coming,” Geise told The New York Post, estimating she’s received more than 50,000 emails since the election. “They’re overpowering my iPad.” Her answer: mass delete.

She’s not swayed: Her decision to vote for Trump is stronger than ever.

This harassment is happening everywhere. Georgia, Idaho, Tennessee, Arizona, Michigan and Utah.

Like Geise, Republican Patricia Allen of Tennessee told The Post she’s been bombarded with 2,000 emails, 120 letters and five phone calls all urging her to switch and vote against Trump. But Allen, 74, said that despite the “siege,” she’s not budging.

She said she has received offers from a group backed by Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig for free legal representation to any electors who change their vote.

“That borders on bribery,” said Allen. “Carried to this extreme, the day might come when an elector could be sold to the highest bidder.”

Lessig claims that 20 GOP electors are considering voting against Trump. That’s still far short of the 37 Republican electors needed to thwart the vote.

And even if the electors couldn’t make a decision, it would be sent to the House of Representatives, who would most certainly vote to seat Trump.

Michael Banerian said he’s even received death threats: “Somebody threatened to put a bullet in the back of my mouth,” Banerian, 22, said on Wednesday.

In Utah, a group called Democracy and Progress PAC placed full-page ads in Salt Lake City’s daily newspapers telling electors they are “not bound” to vote for trump, who won the state.

But the Desert News reported that under Utah law, Trump must receive all the state’s Electoral College votes, since he won the election in the state.

The paper said Utah’s six Republican electors are being inundated with emails pressing them not to support Trump.

One of them, Salt Lake County Councilman Richard Snelgrove, said there’s no way he’ll cave in to the pressure.

“No, Trump won the Electoral College fair and square,” he said.

The effort to deny the electoral vote to Trump was launched shortly after the Nov. 8 election.
