According to this story, Republican Party national officials are monitorning the social media used by Republican presidential electors, looking for any sign of rebellion.

That is illegal snooping and the Republican party officials should be investigated by the FBI.Yhat is what the Nixon administration did.
@William Sillenberger
If they are using Facebook or Twitter accounts, who can stop anyone from “snooping” on them?
All the more reason just to be quiet, go in, vote as you intend, and be done with it. Of course, if you are getting calls and they are asking you your intentions, you would have to lie if you don’t want to reveal yourself.
I don’t know the answer to this, but to electors cast their ballots secretly?
In most states presidential electors do not use a secret ballot, but in some states it is secret.
Demand the Attorney General investigate this.The Republican party doesn’t respect privacy.Maybe the electors should vote for Rand Paul.
Heck, I’d take Rand Paul over Trump or Clinton any day. I disagree with his economics, but at least he’s a noted civil libertarian.
I find the article false. The State of Texas like California does not let its Presidential Electors resign for that State
of Texas statewide Office of Profit.
One more step on the long road since 1865 to Civil WAR II ???
How many public party lists (registration, etc.) are now PURGE lists ???
@William Sollenberger: We’re talking about social media, where the persons are making information publicly known to all Facebook or Twitter users. There is nothing illegal here and nothing to investigate because nobody’s privacy is being invaded.
@ William Sollenberger:
Rand Paul is an interesting option. But, why not encourage wavering electors to vote for Gary Johnson? After all he did get 4.4 million votes. If electors were awarded proportionally to the popular vote, I estimate that Johnson would be entitled to 18-20 electoral votes.
I second what Joshua said.
I agree with Walt, Gary Johnson is the most deserving recipient of the votes of the faithless electors.
@William Sillenberger The GOP! The Dem Governor of PA published the names,addresses and phone numbers of the GOP electors!! That is who need investigating! GOP electors across the US have suffered up 6000 to 8000 calls and emails from The loving HiLIAR supporters. Many death threats. And your concerned with the RNC checking that they do their sworn duty by looking on “legal” social media. That’s the criminal clinton mentality. Its’ OK for us to harrass the EC to get our way. But don’t let anyone else dare get in our way! Biased Sheeples blinded by the puppet MSM. In my 62 yrs I ‘m ashamed to be apart of our democratic process. The blatant lies and coverups and underhanded actions of a party that I supported for 58 yrs is why I have become this way. If I didn’t have younger family members whom I want to have the chance to grow up in the Real America I’d leave you all to your serf/sheeple lives. For that is why the status quo is trying every underhanded trick to back door their puppet into the WH! 60+ million voters deserve their rights to. And I get so tired of having to point out the obvious to this dumbed down society that can’t think any farther then the newest toy that the elitist allow you to have. Wake Up. don’t you want your kids to have the country that your parents and grandparents left to you? This William guy is the perfect example. Made a statement. Statement was shown to be in correct but he refused to hear the truth. That is what I’m seeing so many so-called Americans become. Sad! The message this shows our kids is no matter how crooked someone is there are those who are above the law and therefore should be followed. It’s OK to disrupt a 240 yr old peaceful transfer of power as long as the puppet masters get what they want> Tell me Do you really believe, aside from the truthful emails that showed what HRC and her people really think of US(A) all, that she’ll care about your help in scheming her way to DC. Or that if she gets there all goes back to her enriching herself and her friends as she has done during her 30 yrs of service??
First I supported Gary Johnson.My preferred choice would have been Lieutenant colonel James Bo Gritz.Also the Republican party officials should mind their own fascist business on who Republican electors choise to vote for.Republican donors should stop giving money to the Republican party.The FBI should be involved.Social media should be protected with privacy.Republicans never respected privacy.Look at the early 1970s .They continued what Johnson was doing.Nixon was invading the privacy of activities by Vietnam veterans against the war.Also George McGovern supports were spied on .
Also I am 48 years old and support stricter privacy laws.Lyndon Johnson corrupted the 1960s.Nixon corrupted the 1970s.Maybe elections should be abolished.Actually I like to see Johnston’s prophecy come true.He predicted after Fidel Castro died the United States economy will sink and collapse.I don’t care about economic slavery jobs.
Trump did have the support of well known white nationalist.So minorities will be harassed and mistreated by the Trump administration.I hope the predictions against Trump will come true.Maybe riots and civil unrest will occur.
