Can WA replace its two potential rogue electors?

There are faithless electors all the time, who cares?

Haven't occurred since 2004, actually, and 2004 ("John Ewards") was probably just an idiot making a mistake. 2000 (D.C. elector abstaining) was more of a "serious" last time. Before that it was 1988.

So we're due.

There have been 5 faithless electors in the last 11 elections (going back to 1972), so it happens on average every other election.

There's probably going to be faithless electors this year, but it's more likely to be Republicans:

Yet the last time you had more than a single faithless elector was in 1960.

It would never withstand a legal challenge. SC will give him a kick up his rear and force him to withdraw or face legal sanctions
