Good, any tampering like that needs to be punished. If that won't happen we are guaranteed it will happen again.

The problem is these idiots think they're untouchable, and they need to be shown they are not

Trying to subvert an election and install a dictator? Sounds like treason to me.

Death is only an option for treason during war time.

Are we technically at war with anyone?

Is the US a belligerent in the Korean war? That one hasn't ended technically

Don't worry, if these kinds of people can get Trump in regardless of the will of the people, Trump will pardon them for this crime.

The president can't pardon state crimes, you need a governor for that

SCOTUS majority (probably): The electoral college is defined by the Constitution, state law doesn't apply to electors, they have to be prosecuted in Federal court.

They would. I hope Clarence chokes uncomfortably on a fish bone during one of his lavish vacations.

I'm behind on the news. Are they actually members of the electoral college, or are they pretending to be? If they're just pretending, what were the potential consequences of their lie? Are faithless electors still legal?

Are they picking bad photos of tRump or has he started to look like death warmed over lately?

Lately? He's old, tired, orange, overweight and covered in makeupwith a ludicrous hairstyle to hide his appearance.
