Michigan electors in line to vote for Donald Trump
DETROIT (AP) — Electors in Michigan are in line to obey state law and vote for Republican President-elect Donald Trump.
The state requires the 16 members of the Electoral College convening Monday at the statehouse to vote according to the results of the Michigan's presidential election, which Trump won by .2 percentage points.
Texas elector Chris Suprun recently reversed his pledge to support Trump, citing the billionaire businessman's attacks on the First Amendment, postelection attacks on the country's electoral process and overseas business interests.
Brian Fairbrother, deputy clerk for the Detroit suburb of Shelby Township, said he launched ElectorsforTrump.com to counteract a deluge of missives electors have received from people urging votes for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton or another Republican.
