ROGUE WON: 3 faithless electors vote for Colin Powell in Washington state.

Reports from Washington showed more faithless electors went against Clinton, continuing a trend seen in Maine, Minnesota and Colorado.

The votes were cast for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Maine and Minnesota — both of which were thrown out — and it’s unknown whom the elector in Colorado chose. His vote was also thrown out.

The votes in Washington will not be thrown out, as that state does not require electors to vote from among the two top vote getters. That means Powell and Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American elder, will be among the candidates getting votes.

Democrats used to say Colin Powell lied to get us into war with Iraq, and now they’re voting for him over Hillary Clinton.

UPDATE: Heh.
