CSPAN is seeking permission to show Presidential elector meetings that have never been previously broadcasted
From Ballot Access News:
C-SPAN wants to broadcast presidential electors meeting on December 19 and casting their votes, according to this story. As far as is known, neither C-SPAN nor other news media have previously broadcast such meetings. In most states, electors meet somewhere in the state capitol building and members of the public can be in the audience.
Also, from the Colorado Independent:
“Colorado is one of a number of states we are looking at, allowing a national audience to better understand exactly what the process looks like,” Steve Scully, the network’s political editor, told The Colorado Independent. “As with all of our coverage, it’s an unfiltered look at what our Founding Fathers established in America’s Electoral College system.”
C-SPAN couldn’t have picked a better place to show how the sausage is made. Four of the nine national electors from Colorado are on record saying they might violate state law on Dec. 19 and try to cast their votes for someone other than Hillary Clinton who won their state.
