Can't find any stories on the two absent Ohio electors...

Anyone know if they were protesting, or were sick?

1. This is news to me..... any links? how did you hear about it?

2. In the thread about the Ohio rally, people watching C-span mentioned it.

The Ohio electoral college proceedings were on C-span. Apparently they nominated two new electors to vote in place of the missing ones.

It's a long thread and is mostly about the rally:

3. Yeah, I saw that on C-SPAN too.

It would be nice to know what happened to them.

Maybe they showed a dangerous tendency to develop opinions of their own, and "caught the flu." :tinfoilhat:

Jeez, this whole thing is sending me over the deep end, I think sometimes....

7. Can they legally do that?

4. Well they ought to have at least shown up, if they were being "dissidents"

And used the opportunity to protest om mainstream TV. They did us no good otherwise.

5. On C-SPAN's coverage NOW of Calif. Electoral....

At least 10 Electoral people were replaced!!! Doesn't that seem like a lot for a Blue State, or any state? Something funny going on. I do NOT trust the Governator.

6. Are you sure it was 10? I didn't catch numbers. n/t

8. In Pennsylvania there were about 5 or 6

Apparently it's not a big deal. Probably sick or other scheduling conflicts.
