Dem elector says he won't vote for Clinton
A Democratic elector in the state of Washington refuses to vote for Clinton even if she carries the state of Washington--where it's guaranteed she will.
The elector, member of the state's Puyallup Tribe, says that he will not vote for her because of her lack of support for Native Americans and states "She doesn't care about my land or my air or my fire or my water".
The Dakota Access Pipeline has become a large political issue and Clinton's silence on it appears to be more deafening than ever. Although she did release her "position" on the pipeline, the statement is meaningless and takes a position of neutrality on the pipeline. Many prominent Democrats have come out against the pipeline in support for pre-existing Native American treaties violated by the pipeline.
The question of the faithless elector has come up frequently, especially in this presidential election since both candidates are polarizing within their parties.
What do you think about the pipeline?
