Faithless electors so far are Democrats, not Republicans

[oberliner]

The 2016 presidential election continues to defy expectations as “faithless electors” emerged among Democrats refusing to support Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

In the run-up to the vote of the Electoral College, all eyes had been on whether any Republican electors would refuse to vote for Donald Trump. There had reports of last-ditch lobbying asking electors to switch from Trump to Clinton.

Instead, it has been Democratic electors who were balking.

In Washington state, three Democratic electors voted for Colin Powell and one for Faith Spotted Eagle, who has been fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, instead of Clinton.

6. I understand the Republican electors were harassed and even threatened. ...

If in a parallel universe I would have been a Republican elector the harassment and threats would have only pissed me off and absolutely convinced me to not change my vote.
