Even before major news outlets reported late last week that the Central Intelligence Agency now believes Russian cyberattacks during the U.S. election were intended to help Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, Trump was on track to see more Electoral College defections than any president in over 50 years.

In late November, a Republican elector, who concluded he could not in good conscience vote for Trump, resigned. Another, Texan Republican Christopher Suprun, announced he would be a “faithless” elector, and that other Republicans would join him.

“I am confident in saying, at this point I don’t think I will be the only one voting for someone other than Donald Trump who is carrying a Republican elector seat,” Suprun told ABC News.

On Monday, Suprun and several Democratic electors signed an open letter to James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, demanding a briefing about “whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations.” Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, issued a supportive statement on their behalf.

Critics of this noisemaking argue these electors and their supporters are hypocritically threatening an established norm—that the Electoral College should rubber stamp statewide election results—after having insisted on the importance of similar norms when Trump was traducing them.
