With 70 ectors signing the letter to have Clapper present to them his "high confidence" evidence, how many are needed to "steal" the election from Trump? One way to win is to refuse to inform the Electoral College. Done!
Trump won the vote in states with 306 electoral votes. If 37 Republican electors reject him, he'd fall below the 270-vote threshold necessary to become president, sending the election to the House of Representatives for a January vote. This would not throw the victory to Clinton but to the Republican chosen by the House. Many would savor dumping Trump and choosing a mainstream Republican.
So how many Republicans signed the letter? Most are Democrats but a handful are Republicans (many of whom have grave doubts about Trump and many of whom are not bound by law to vote for Trump (only in 14 states he won is elector "faithfulness" required. ) The number signing has gone from 10 to 50 and now to 70 and growing.
The 70 signers (so far) are not the same as the GOP leaders who rejected Trump earlier:
he new Ministry of Truth
Fifty of the nation's most senior Republican national security officials... have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump "lacks the character, values and experience" to be president and "would put at risk our country's national security and well-being."
James Clapper lied to Congress about mass spying. Now he is refusing to brief the Electoral College. The only further lying he should be permitted is lying in state.
