Harvard Professor Larry Lessig claims that 20 Republican electors are considering voting against Donald Trump and offers them free legal counsel. The RNC disputes this claim, stating only one elector, Chris Supran of Texas, has publicly defected. The hosts question the legality of offering free legal services to electors, suggesting it could be viewed as a form of bribery or election interference.
Electoral College Petition, Faithless Electors and December 19
A Change.org petition calling for the Electoral College to ignore state results and vote for Hillary Clinton on December 19 is discussed. The hosts explain the concept of "faithless electors" but argue that the Republican control of state governments makes this strategy impossible to execute.
Bill Maher on the Electoral College and Gun Control
Bill Maher's call to abolish the Electoral College and the Second Amendment is framed as a strategy to alienate female voters from the Republican Party. The hosts argue that Democrats use the fear of "dead kids" and gun violence to secure the female vote. They suggest that many politicians who advocate for gun control are hypocrites who personally own firearms or enjoy target shooting.
