Jim and Dan talk with a leader of the longshot "Hamilton Electors" movement. Bret Chiafalo, a Democratic elector from Washington state, hopes to unite with Republican electors to deny Donald Trump the White House when the Electoral College votes. Then capitol bureau reporter Joseph O'Sullivan hopes on the phone to break down Gov. Jay Inslee's budget request that includes more than $4 billion in higher taxes pay for public schools, mental health system fixes and more. Senate Republicans call that plan dead-on-arrival.
