Members of the Electoral College are being threatened as they plan to vote on Monday for Donald Trump.
The New York Post found a number of Republican electors who find themselves being berated by Americans who would prefer them not to cast a vote for the Republican president-elect, who won the Electoral College, but not the popular vote.
One elector, Michael Banerian, a 22-year-old college student at the Oakland University in Michigan, told the Post he was getting death threats sent through the mail and over the internet via email, Facebook and Twitter.
