An Electoral College voter from Washington state told the Associated Press on Friday that he would not vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances, even if, as is firmly expected, Clinton wins his state’s popular vote.
The elector, Robert Satiacum, is a Native American who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic Primary and told the AP that Clinton is a “criminal” who hasn’t done enough on Native American issues.
“She will not get my vote. Period,” Satiacum said in a phone interview with the news service."Criminal?" Get on the phone, Sen. Sanders, and straighten out this seriously misinformed supporter to do the right thing, not the purity thing. Every vote -- most importantly, every electoral college vote -- counts.
As Louis C.K., said, "If you vote for Hillary, you're a grown up, if you vote for Trump, you're a sucker, if you don't vote for anybody, you're an asshole." That goes double for electors.

...And Trump will do so much for Native Americans. Okay then.
Granted, Obama has been fantastic on Native American issues, and honestly, Hillary will follow suit (or can be convinced to follow suit). Trump will not give a shit.
But some folks just have to go to town on their noses, you know.
Well said. Thanks, Marc.
