Since I live only 25 miles
from Dan Bortner, I assume that he is “my” presidential elector. Thus a copy of
my letter to him…
Dan Bortner
1502 23rd St
Bedford, IN 47421-4702
Dear Mr. Bortner:
I write to you in your
capacity as a Presidential Elector, [although I am very appreciative of the
work you do as Director of State Parks.]
I respectfully request
that you do not cast your electoral vote for Donald Trump, at least
until further investigations can be made of Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia and the
possibility of Russian tampering in our recent election.
Indiana wisely trusts its
Presidential Electors and does not require them to vote for the winner of the
Indiana popular vote if they feel their vote would go to someone who is not
qualified to be president, or who would do damage to our democracy as
president.
I grew up in Gibson
County, where the Republican Party lived by sound Republican principles. As a Republican
Party leader, I know you value Republican principles over temporary power. A
Trump presidency might well result in long-lasting damage to the Republican Party.
Thank you for your service
to our nation and our state [and our parks.]
Sincerely,
John Robert McFarland
