Urgent!

Got this from the Hamilton electors:

"Now is the time to TAKE ACTION! Our Country needs you to CALL your Representatives and especially your Senators.

An independent group of attorneys has identified 50 Republican Electors who were ineligible to serve as presidential electors either because they did not live in the congressional districts they represented or because they already held elected office in states that legally bar dual officeholders.

Congress is set to certify the Electoral College results tomorrow. Call your representatives and Senators and ask them to object to these 50 Republican Electors. Each separate objection is given up to two hours of debate and if enough Electors are disqualified the Election will go to the House to choose between Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, and Trump. Many Members of Congress have already indicated strong interest in raising objections over these Elector irregularities but they need to hear from you, their constituents. Your call will make a difference!

Learn more in the first two pages of this executive summary:

And it puts the onus of the congressional republicans.
