3 Republican members of Electoral College may not vote for GOP ticket

[mim89]

At least three Republican electors say they may not support their party's presidential ticket when the Electoral College meets in December to formally elect the new president, escalating tensions within the GOP and adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the final weeks of the White House race.

The electors — all are supporters of former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul — told The Associated Press they are exploring options should Mitt Romney win their states. They expressed frustration at how Republican leaders have worked to suppress Paul's conservative movement and his legion of loyal supporters.

2. I hear this stuff every 4 years, but nothing ever actually happens.

Even when the election was stolen from Gore. You can forget about putting much stock in this occurring.

Who are we to complain?

5. The article says the three electors are from Iowa, Nevada and Texas.

Those from Iowa and Nevada could help in a tight race.
