<div dir="ltr">Note that the state statutes on this differ, and at least some provide a rule similar to the one used by the Republican Party for votes cast by bound delegates: they not only impose penalties on the elector, but provide that faithless votes count as if they were faithful votes.<div><br></div><div>If not done in connection with a request that they break the law, it would clearly be legal to fly people places to meet people. If an elector is from a state which provides for penalties for faithless electors, if you are flying them to meet people in connection with such a request, I suspect that would be illegal. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

Change.org is now offering me the opportunity to add a fundraising pitch. Any ideas on what, if anything, I should seek to raise money for in relation to this? It would need to be something directly related to the subject of the petition, so not just "Send money to the LP" for instance. :-)<br>
<br>
My first thought was collect bounty money to directly reward rogue Electors for changing their votes, but I don't think that's legal and if it were, Trump would probably outbid us if it came to that. Anyone know whether it would be legal to raise money to fly Electoral College members to New Mexico to meet with Gary Johnson?<br>
