Anti-Trump Protesters Release Personal Info of Electoral College Members

Weasel Zippers


"We reported how a google spreadsheet was first posted by Twitter account, @VoteHillary2016 whose admin is Steve Rosinki, a man connected to the Clinton campaign. Shortly thereafter, reports started coming in of electors being harassed and intimidated. It appears the spreadsheet has made it down to the rank and file to continue harassing the electors.

A national anti-Donald Trump group called the #NotMyPresident Alliance distributed the personal information of dozens of Electoral College members to its supporters on Wednesday through a Google doc spreadsheet.
The Electoral College members targeted were those who represented states that voted Republican, BuzzFeed reported.
A spreadsheet distributed to supporters Wednesday included the personal phone numbers, addresses, religions, races, genders, and candidate preference of the electors. The document does not have a complete set of data on every elector.
The group hopes that its members and citizens around the country will contact electors and persuade them to change their vote from Donald Trump to another candidate before Dec. 19, when electors cast their votes. The group does not advocate for Hillary Clinton or any other specific candidate, rather asking protesters to encourage electors from each state to a consensus that isn’t Trump.
