Conversation with Brooklyn’s Jeff Strabone on how his Electoral College website went crazy viral
‘The electors are elected officials so we have every right to write to them.’
Roughly ten days ago Brooklyn resident Jeff Strabone launched a website called directelection.org, which helps people write to members of the Electoral College to ask them not to vote for President-elect Donald Trump on Monday, Dec. 19.
Strabone’s website immediately went viral, with links to it on Huffington Post and Reddit (and in the Brooklyn Eagle) along with thousands of tweets and Facebook links.
Clearly, Strabone’s work filled a need for many thousands of voters. The Eagle met up with him again on Wednesday for a conversation about his campaign to help people reach electors and his beliefs about why this is important.
