Texas electors would rather resign than vote for Trump

Texas Republican Electoral College member Art Sisneros says he would rather resign than vote for Donald Trump.

Speaking to Politico earlier, Mr. Sisneros said that his conscience was tormented when thinking about whether to vote for Donald Trump on December 19 or not.

In a post on his personal blog, Mr. Sisneros said the core function of the Electoral College system has been "corrupted" and "collapsed." Sisneros also argued that Donald Trump is not the right person to be President of the United States.

“If Mr. Trump is not qualified, my role as an elector is to cast my vote according to my conscience, then both morally and historically, I cannot and will not vote for Donald Trump for President,” Mr. Sisneros wrote.

Mr. Sisneros also said he would resign so he wouldn't have to vote for Mr. Trump.

Recently, CNN reported that Mr. Donald Trump won 16 electoral votes in the state of Michigan.

Mr. Trump won 306 electoral votes, while Mrs. Hillary Clinton won only 232. However, if we count the total popular vote, Mrs. Hillary won more than 2 million votes than Mr. Trump.

Immediately after Mr. Trump won the election, many people called on the electors to be 'faithless' and not vote for Mr. Trump. Currently, there are 2 Republican electors and 6 Democratic electors who have declared that they will not vote for Mr. Trump.

However, Mr. Trump has 74 electoral votes more than Mrs. Clinton, so the 8 votes of this "disloyal" voter are said to not change the fact that Mr. Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20, 2017.
