Electors demand intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote
The request represents the latest effort by Democratic electors to look to
the Electoral College as a possible bulwark against a Trump presidency.

In its first show of public support for efforts questioning the legitimacy
of Donald Trump's victory, Hillary Clinton’s campaign said it is supporting
a request by members of the Electoral College for an intelligence briefing
on foreign intervention in the presidential election.
“The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our
national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a
solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to
have their questions addressed.”
“Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in
our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald
Trump,” he said. “Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive
the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the
CIA has determined Russia's interference in our elections was for the
purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.”
Podesta’s statement follows an open letter from 10 members of the Electoral
College, including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Christine and
a former member of Congress, who are demanding a briefing from U.S.
intelligence officials on any ongoing investigations into Donald Trump’s
ties to Russia.
In a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the electors
— nine Democrats and one Republican — argue that they require the
information ahead of Dec. 19, when the Electoral College is set to meet and
select the next president.
“The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there
are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or
associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope
of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and
who was involved in those investigations,” they wrote. “We further require
a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact
the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve
as President of the United States.”
The letter is signed by electors from five states and the District of
Columbia. In addition to Christine Pelosi — a California elector — it
includes a signature from one former members of Congress: New Hampshire’s
Carol Shea-Porter.
Shea-Porter’s three other New Hampshire colleagues — Terie Norelli, Bev
Hollingsworth and Dudley Dudley — also signed the letter. D.C. Councilwoman
Anita Bonds, former Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Clay Pell and
Maryland activist Courtney Watson round out the nine Democratic signatories.
Colorado Democratic elector Micheal Baca, leader of an effort to turn the
Electoral College against Trump, is also on the list. Texas' Chris Suprun,
an emergency responder who has been a vocal critic of Trump, is the only
Republican elector to sign on.
“Yes, we the Electors should have temporary security clearance to perform
our constitutional duty in reviewing the facts regarding outside
interference in the US election and the intelligence agencies should
declassify as much data as possible while protecting sources and methods so
that the American people can learn the truth about our election,” said
Pelosi.
Though the letter doesn’t explicitly endorse a separate effort by electors
in Colorado, Washington and California to stop Trump from winning the
presidency, it represents the latest effort by Democratic electors to look
to the Electoral College as a possible bulwark against a Trump presidency.
The letter follows on the heels of two Democratic congressmen — David
Cicilline of Rhode Island and Jim Himes of Connecticut — who suggested this
weekend that the Electoral College should consider whether to block Trump’
s election.
Hillary Clinton, her top advisers and former President Bill Clinton, who’s
an elector from New York, have remained notably silent on the various
Electoral College machinations.
The signatories of Monday's letter represent some prominent party names.
Pelosi's mother is the highest-ranking House Democrat, Bonds is a member of
the Washington, D.C., city council, Norelli is a former speaker of the New
Hampshire House of Representatives, and Shea-Porter was recently elected to
her old seat in Congress. Pell, the grandson of Democratic Sen. Claiborne
Pell, ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2014. His wife, the former figure
skater Michelle Kwan, was a senior staffer in Clinton's presidential
campaign.
The letter begins with a lengthy defense of the Electoral College’s role in
the election process. The Democrats argue that it’s their duty not simply
to rubber-stamp the Election Day results but to “investigate, discuss, and
deliberate with our colleagues about whom to vote for.” They point to Trump
’s repeated refutation of intelligence assessments suggestion Russia’s
meddling in the election, as well as his suggestion during the campaign that
Russia should unearth some of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails. And, they
note, Trump has dismissed reports over the weekend that the U.S.
intelligence community had determined Russia intervened in the election to
help him win.
“Trump’s willingness to disregard conclusions made by the intelligence
community and his continuing defense of Russia and Russian President
Vladimir Putin demand close scrutiny and deliberation from the Electoral
College,” they write.
The 538 members of the Electoral College are slated to meet in their state
capitals on Dec. 19 to cast the only official vote for president. Trump won
the popular vote in states that include 306 electors, while Clinton won
states that include 232 electors. Anti-Trump forces are working to convince
at least 37 Republican electors to turn on Trump, which would block his
immediate election and send the final decision to the Republican-controlled
House of Representatives.
