Why Trying to Flip Electors Is a Bad Idea

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Ok

Is it in our national interest to have Electors throwing elections into the House of Representative? It's a procedural safeguard for our government in the event that a candidate doesn't get 270 EVs but I thought that that would only come into play on Election Day. Not sure a scenario where the Electors go rogue, resulting in a decrease in EVs. The votes have been cast and DT was declared the winner of 270+ Evs. He is the President-elect according to the Constitution. We all agree that Trump is going to be walking dumpster fire. No doubts whatsoever. But if we get electors to flip and/or throw the election into the House now with Trump (which will still result in a Republican President and perhaps one that won't be as divisive, which will make running against them in 2018 and 2020 harder), Republicans will try to do it the next time (and yes, there WILL be a next time) we win the EC Vote. Do we want to start down this road? I submit that we should not.
