ezs note:  Congratulations, Mr. Suprun!  You are doing your civic duty.  Republican electors, remember, you do NOT have to follow in goosestep behind Chancellor Trump.  I may be a Democrat, but I am perfectly comfortable with a Republican who understands the spirit of serving ALL of the people - and that's "serving", not "ruling".
