RUSH: Breaking news! Breaking news! Associated Press: A Democrat elector in the state of Maine has gone faithless, meaning he did not vote the way he was supposed to have voted. A Democratic elector in Maine has voted for Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton. But wait. I need to check the validity of this. Did Hillary win Maine or did Trump win Maine? The reason I'm asking is because there's a guy in Maine who provides heating oil and gas for homeowners, and he has vowed not to sell the stuff to people that voted for Trump.
He's in Shalheaken, Shalboken, Shalheaken, Maine. Sixty percent of the people in this guy's area of doing business voted for Trump which means 60% of his market, he says, he's not gonna sell to. That's what ABC is... It's too hard to find it. There's a another defector. Okay, so Trump got elected. So Hillary won the vote in the state overall. Anyway, so what happens, one of the Hillary electors voted for Bernie, and there is another ABC News is reporting that one elector in Minnesota attempted to vote for "no candidate."
But the state invalidated his vote and swore in an alternate who voted along with the rest of the electors to deliver all 10 electoral votes to Clinton. So the two faithless defectors we've heard about so far have abandoned Hillary! Isn't that great? Trump... By the way, I've been following this count and we're up to Trump at 240 now as the reports come in. Texas could put Trump over 270 in the next hour, but the whole thing's gonna bomb out on 'em. It was never gonna amount to anything. And I just...
When this happens, when Trump is clearly the Electoral College winner when all this is said, I want you to go back and remember what the media has tried to make you think the last three weeks, that a bunch of Trump electors were being pressured and were maybe thinking of defecting. And the New York Times ran this op-ed by this Trump elector in Dallas that was not gonna vote for him. You just please remember how far out they went to try to make you believe something that was never, never even close to being accurate or true.
