A member of the electoral commission in Texas says his colleagues are
getting death threats as angry Hillary supporters ramp up the pressure
before electors cast their vote on December 19th.
Hillary voters around the country are
bombarding electors with emails, some of them threatening, in an effort
to force them to vote against the outcome of the presidential election.
“At
first everyone was kinda enchanted by it. Now all the electors are
starting to get beaten down. There are some electors who have been
threatened with harm or with death,” Texas elector Alex Kim told NBC 5.
“When
people ask me to vote for Hillary Clinton, there’s no way,” he said. “I
reject the Democratic Party principles and I reject Hillary Clinton.”
Kim said he had a message for all the people who are trying to pressure him into changing his vote; “Go to hell”.
As we previously reported,
another elector in Michigan said he has also received a number of death
threats, including a promise that he would be shot in the head if he
voted for Trump.
“I’ve had people
talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out. And I’ve
received dozens and dozens of those emails. Even the
non-threatening-my-life emails are very aggressive,” Michael Banerian
told the Detroit News, adding that he has been labeled a “hateful bigot”
by the same people who are violently threatening him.
A petition to demand electors change their vote to Clinton has also surpassed 4.5 million signatures.
Meanwhile on Twitter, Hillary supporters are organizing on how to pressure electors under the hashtag #HamiltonElectors, a reference to Mike Pence being lectured by a cast member of the musical show.
Unfortunately
for them, conservatives found the hashtag and have now largely taken it
over to decry leftists attempting to overturn the results of a
democratic election.
