Geraldine Ferraro's electoral vote will go to the democrat |
|
She can vote for McCain if she wants. She can stay home if she wants. It won't matter. NYS will be counted for the Democrats.

There is no one in NYS that can take HRC's senate seat from her. Except perhaps Andrew Cuomo or RFKjr. I doubt either would like to fight the Clinton team for it.

6. Cause black folk will vote third party or for the GOP? |
|
:shrug:
Part of the "charm" of the democratic party is that blacks, liberals, progressives, and pacifists believe that they have no where else to turn. We can suck it up and vote dem, or throw our vote away on a third party. Or stay home.

She's just blustering and threatening because she's not getting her way.
Is she actually an elector? If she is, she can actually vote for whomever she wants, regardless of the outcome of the NY election. It's pretty rare to get a faithless elector, but it happened in both of the last 2 elections.
