Comments

​We just spoke with several sources in the Capitol.
  1. The Elecors will meet in the ceremonial "Blue Room"
  2. The event is set for 10:30am, today
  3. No Cameras are allowed. Fox25 news sent a full crew to the event and they were not allowed in with a camera.
  4. Alternate electors are also attending the event, along with the 7 electors.
  5. The Associated Press may be the best source for a full unofficial tabulation of the 51 colleges meeting today. Heavy.com also has a large collection of live webcasts.
  6. The Electors were all there early. They took time to get a group picture and share stories of the letters they got.

  • ​Indiana appears to be uneventful, if you're looking for rebellious electors. The process just didn't live up to the Hollywood hype. 
  • They broke the boredom half way through the arguous signing of papers by inviting an encore performance of The "Two Indiana Tenors", adorned in their trucker/lumberjack apparel, sang an a capella rendition of God Bless America. It was perfection.
  • The benediction is now commencing.
10:10am: from the AP - 
"Indiana's eleven representatives to the Electoral College formally have cast their votes to make Republican Donald Trump president.
Anti-Trump activists gathered outside the Indiana House chamber where electors met and jeered proceedings. 
None of the electors designated during Trump's Indiana victory were expected to buck the party in Vice President-elect Mike Pence's home state.
Members of the media observed the vote. Republicans had ticketed the event and dozens of supporters were in the House chamber to watch the vote." Read more here.

  • Oklahoma Electors got it done quickly. And All 7 votes went to Trump.
  • David Oldham was one of the electors. He provided photos.
  • Oldham added; "Votes have been cast, ceremonies are done. Oklahoma voted all 7 votes for Donald Trump. No electors were replaced. More photos coming, but I am waiting for a press conference to begin. Almost done with my 15 minutes of fame."

  • Gov. Fallin posted a couple pics. The first is of her greeting to the Electors. the second is of her follow-up press conference, along with Secretary of State, Mike Hunter.
  • In the first pic, an AP reporter and a photographer were seen in the Blue room for the ceremonies. Evidently, the ban was only for live feeds?

​  Hillary Clinton has lost 4 of her electoral College votes, so far. In Washington, 4 Electors bailed on her. 3 voted for Colin Powell (who is not born as a US citizen), and 1 voted for a Dakotah Indian chief. 2 other electors were unsuccessful in their intent to abandon Clinton. In Minnesota, an Elector was replaced when he stated his preference for Bernie Sanders. In Maine, pressure put on the one Sanders holdout was enough to bring him back into the Clinton camp.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
