A number of electors have announced an intention to support Ohio Governor John Kasich instead of Donald Trump. Kasich is requesting they not do so.

On December 19, the members of the Electoral College will officially select the president of the United States. 
While electors typically vote according to the wishes of people in their state, a number have announced an intention to support Ohio Governor John Kasich instead of Donald Trump, notes Politico.
Kasich is requesting that not be done. 
In a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday, Kasich says, “I am not a candidate for president and ask that electors not vote for me when they gather later this month. Our country had an election and Donald Trump won." 
He continues, “The country is divided and there are certainly raw emotions on both sides stemming from the election. But this approach, as well meaning as it is, will only serve to further divide our nation, when unity is what we need. The election is over. Now is the time for all of us to come together as Americans.” 
Kasich’s words follow an op-ed written by a Republican Texas elector and published in the New York Times on Monday.
It reads, in part, “The election of the next president is not yet a done deal. Electors of conscience can still do the right thing for the good of the country. Presidential electors have the legal right and a constitutional duty to vote their conscience. I believe electors should unify behind a Republican alternative, an honorable and qualified man or woman such as Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I pray my fellow electors will do their job and join with me in discovering who that person should be."
