Washington state presidential electors file third lawsuit in anti-Trump effort

Politico reports:
A third lawsuit has been filed by Democratic presidential electors leading a long-shot effort intended to stop Donald Trump from winning the presidency.

Two Washington state electors, P. Bret Chiafalo and Levi Guerra, filed a little-noticed suit in federal court Thursday intended to overturn a state law that forces them to support the winner of the statewide popular vote when the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19. It’s part of an effort to undermine similar laws in 28 other states, including several states where Republican electors have expressed concerns about Trump but are legally obligated to support him.
