At least seven electors, including five Democrats and two Republicans, cast “faithless” votes in the Electoral College on Monday, marking a record-high in any presidential election. Democratic electors had planned to toss their votes to an alternative Republican candidate in an attempt to coalesce GOP electors to desert Trump.
In Washington state, four Democratic electors rejected Clinton. Three voted for Colin Powell, a Republican African-American and former secretary of state, while the fourth cast his vote for a Native American environmental activist named Faith Spotted Eagle. The fifth vote against Clinton came from a Hawaiian elector who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.).
