Vote des grands électeurs: nombre record d'infidèles

Autre particularité à ajouter au bilan de cette présidentielle 2016, lors du vote d'hier au collège électoral, un nombre étonnant d'électeurs, démocrates et républicains, ont modifié le vote reçu par la population le 8 novembre dernier. L'histoire continue de s'écrire...

 "The seven so-called “faithless” votes cast by members of the Electoral College on Monday may go down as a noisy footnote to an otherwise chaotic 2016 election. But they also represent a historic breach between electors and the candidates they were expected to vote for.

The number of faithless votes has now become the most-ever cast in a single presidential election. The record was set in 1808, when six Democratic-Republican electors opposed James Madison. It’s also the first time since 1832 in which more than a single elector cast a faithless vote."
