I think it ' s 46 , and iirc , they are from blue states . I ' m pretty sure each candidate is going to lose at least 1 elector this time , but there was also an idea floating around not sure if it just an idea or not about how if 37 Trump electors got together and voted for another compromise candidate , like maybe a centrist or even Romney , they could force the House to vote on who the president will be as they must in a situation where neither candidate gets 270 EVs . The House might still vote Trump , but they ' d be on record doing it even when Trump lost the popular vote . The point would be to give them another choice that won ' t fuck our country , and their party up . You would think the GOP establishmentCongress as a whole would want an escape from Trump if given one . It ' s much more likely than not that Trump deeply hurts them longterm , especially with Millennials . If he ruins their ability to appeal to new voters for the next decade , the GOP will inevitably suffer mass losses in the near future due to lack of support . That ' s what happens when you pin your future on older voters who obviously will not be around nearly as long as younger ones .
