<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFull-page ads created by a Democratic activist are urging Electoral College members to vote against President-elect Donald Trump<\/a><\/span> on Monday.<\/p>\n The ads, which began running in newspapers across the country Wednesday, are funded by Daniel Brezenoff, who made a\u00a0Change.org petition<\/a>\u00a0urging electors not to vote for Trump.<\/p>\n He\u00a0told Politico<\/a>\u00a0the ad is not aimed at choosing Clinton or a specific Republican alternative to Trump but intended to inspire electors to use their own judgment before voting.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are times in the life of a nation when extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures,\u201d the ad reads<\/a>. \u201cNow is such a time, and your courage and leadership are required.\u201d<\/p>\n The ad, which encouraged Republican electors to \u201cvote their conscious,\u201d appeared in the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Austin American-Statesman, Salt Lake City Tribune and Tampa Bay Times. The ad will also appear on Thursday in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Wisconsin State Journal. All of the newspapers listed \u2014 aside from The Washington Post \u2014 primarily serve communities in states that turned red on Nov. 8.<\/p>\n “You, Electors, possess the power to prevent this outcome,” the ad reads. “You are not bound to cast your vote for the candidate of your party \u2014 and, as he won neither a majority nor even a plurality of the popular vote, there can be no question of undermining the will of The People.”<\/p>\n The 538 electors will gather around the country on Monday to vote.<\/p>\n On Nov. 8, Trump won 306 electoral votes and Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/span> got 232. For Trump to lose the presidency, 37 Republican electors would have to switch their vote on Dec. 19.<\/p>\n The chances of that happening are very unlikely.<\/p>\n Only one GOP elector, Chris Suprun from Texas,\u00a0has vowed<\/a> not to vote for Trump.<\/p>\n Suprun has claimed other GOP electors are planning not to vote for Trump either, but\u00a0virtually all GOP electors contacted by The Hill<\/a> have said they would vote for Trump.<\/p>\n
