Kasich asks presidential electors not to vote for him
By KYLE CHENEY 12/06/16 02:47 PM EST
Ohio Gov. John Kasich asked members of the Electoral College on Tuesday not
to vote for him, a blow to efforts by anti-Trump electors forge consensus to
elect an alternative Republican to Donald trump.
His call comes as a group of Democratic electors — with the support of a
single Republican elector in Texas — signaled they were coalescing behind
Kasich as the most broadly acceptable choice. But Kasich's statement could
send them back to the drawing board.
"I am not a candidate for president and ask that electors not vote for me
when they gather later this month," Kasich said in a statement posted on
Twitter. "The country is divided and there are certainly raw emotions on
both sides stemming from the election. But this approach, as well meaning as
it is, will only serve to further divide our nation, when unity is what we
need."
"The election is over," he continued. "Now is the time for all of us to come
together as Americans."
The 538 members of the Electoral College are set to meet on Dec. 19 at noon
in their respective state capitals, where they will cast the only
constitutionally authorized vote for president.
At least eight Democratic electors in Washington and Colorado are pleading
with their Republican counterparts to reject Trump. If they were to convince
at least 37 to do so, it would send the election to the House of
Representatives. So far, only a single Republican — Chris Suprun of Texas
— has indicated he'll reject Trump. In a New York Times op-ed, Suprun also
indicated a preference for Kasich as an alternative. |
