What if Kerry wins by way of a faithless elector?
In the past couple weeks we've seen various prominent conservatives or conservative groups giving suprise endorsements of Kerry.

What do you guys think would happen if a faithless elector were to jump ship and vote for Kerry, giving him the election?

9. One elector threw away her vote in 2000
to protest DC's taxation without representation. The GOP would shit themselves if DC got representation in congress. That's why Dems should push for it.

10. As long as Kerry wins the popular vote, I think people would see
it as fair. Smart people anyway.
