My guess is that the organizers want lots of people to show up
(even in states that Hillary won)
to show how many Americans support the "Faithless Electors"

I emailed the entire list of electors and received a few auto-replies saying they've gotten so many emails they're tuning out. One guy's response was so insulting, basically saying I'm voting for trump, dems suck, get over it, i don't want to hear it anymore...incredibly rude and childish. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.

You deserve a lot of credit for emailing the entire list of Electors.

The NCGOP and it's ilk are an immoral bunch that don't give a damn about Democracy or Democratic principles. They can't be convinced. They can only be defeated.
