Why is Fairfax County Screwed In the Electoral College?
Posted by: Hillary Forever ()
Date: December 03, 2016 04:27PM

These are the presidential electors representing Virginia:

Bethany J. Rowland of Chesapeake
Debra Stevens Fitzgearld of Harrisonburg
James Harold Allen Boyd of Culpeper
Jasper L. Hendricks, III of Pamplin
Jeanette C. Sarver of Dublin
K. James O’Connor, Jr. of Manassas
Kathy Stewart Shupe of Sterling
Keith A. Scarborough of Woodbridge
Lashrecse D. Aird of Petersburg
Susan Johnson Rowland of Chesapeake
Terry C. Frye of Bristol
Virginia L. Peters of Alexandria
Vivian J. Paige of Norfolk

All are Democrats, obviously, as there were more votes for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump in Virginia.

But where are the electors from Fairfax County? After all, the Republicans were winning Virginia until Fairfax County's votes were counted.

Something does not seem fair here.

Virginia is one of the states where electors are not legally required to vote for any specific candidate, so each or all of these electors could help Virginia and unify the country by ceremoniously casting the vote for Donald Trump.

Vivian Paige would be a good candidate to switch to a Trump elector. She has self-identified for years as a triple minority – black, female and gay – and believed that identity forced her to be a Democrat.

No more. Now that Paige recognizes Trump's true agenda to Make America Great Again, she is ready to leave identity politics behind, if for no other reason than to do what's best for her Norfolk community.

I voted for Hillary, but this would be a nice gesture.

FFXU is irrelevant in VA politics. Thanks for reminding us of that. Keep sending tha money to Richmond, though.
