Basically means the candidate has walked back her "Open mind and a chance to lead" plea and wants the EC to elect someone besides Trump, preferably herself.

Only seven days left until this farce comes to an end.

Remember that we won't have any idea of how many faithless electors there actually were at that point. The vote is counted by congress in the opening days of the 2017 session. So really another three weeks or so to wait still.

what is the standing record for faithless electors?

Full list:

2004: 1 (Voted for their assigned VP to be both President and VP)
2000: 1 (Abstained)
1988: 1 (Voted for their assigned ticket in reverse order)
1976: 1
1972: 1
1968: 1
1960: 1 (An additional 14 electors were not pledged to any candidate)
1956: 1
1948: 1
1916: 1
1912: 2
1908: 2
1904: 1
1896: 2
1892: 10
1880: 1
1872: 63 (The democratic nominee died after the public voted but before the EC voted)
1832: 5 (two were abstentions)
1828: 22
1824: 19
1820: 1
1812: 5
1808: 10
1804: 2

Before the Passage of the 12th amendment, a "faithless elector" is harder to define. Rough Estimates are as follows:

1800: 16
1796: 8 (one was an abstention)
