Electoral College Members Voting Now – No Defections Yet

4.8 Million Signed Petition Asking Electors to Deny Trump Vote

Politico’s Kyle Cheney has been keeping track, and predicts Donald Trump will get 305 votes, which would technically mean just one defection.

So far, as of this writing, none of the electors have defected from Trump.
