Hillary Clinton’s campaign is calling for the members of the Electoral College to receive an intelligence briefing on possible Russian interference in the presidential election before that body makes the results official on December 19.

With just one week before the Electoral College vote, Clinton campaign chair John Podesta released a statement today supporting a movement by some of the electors to receive the intelligence briefing. (Earlier on Monday, 10 presidential electors, mostly from states Clinton won, signed a letter requesting the briefing from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.)

“The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

As Vox’s Andrew Prokop has explained, the electors are bound to support the results of their states and can face fines for not doing so. At least until now, only one Republican elector has said he won’t vote for Trump — Clinton would need 36 more to do so, which nobody has thought is really in the realm of possibility.

But this weekend’s reports from the New York Times and Washington Post about Russian interference in the election have fired the hopes of liberals desperate for something to stop Trump. And the Clinton campaign is following suit.
