President-elect Trump tweeted Sunday evening that his opponents were guilty of a double standard for threats they have made, apparently referring to threats against Electoral College members whom Clinton backers are trying to convince not to vote for Trump.
“If my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election are doing, they would be scorned & called terrible names!” Trump wrote.

Electors around the country have complained about receiving death threats if they stick with or abandon the candidate they voted for on election day.
The writers at “Saturday Night Live” joked about the rush to switch votes before Monday, producing a skit on Saturday that featured Hillary Clinton begging an elector to switch her vote on Dec. 19.
