Anti-Trump Decatur Republican Won't Run For Electoral College

DECATUR, GA — A Decatur Republican who said on Wednesday that he could not vote for Donald Trump has resigned his position as a Georgia electoral delegate.

Baoky Vu told the AJC that, if Trump wins Georgia this November, he might withhold his ballot. Now, the AJC is reporting that Vu and Georgia GOP Chairman John Padgett have issued a statement that Vu has resigned as an elector.

“My public expressions of misgivings about our party’s nominee has led to events that would be detrimental to the promotion of our party’s platform of limited government, free enterprise, and liberty," the statement said. "Thus, I am tendering my resignation as a presidential elector.”

Vu is a naturalized U.S. citizen and vice president of VetConnexx. He represents the 4th congressional district on the Technical College System of Georgia's board of directors, and is also vice chair of DeKalb's board of voter registration and elections.

Vu attended the GOP's convention in Cleveland recently as an alternate delegate for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.
