Mrs.
Lynch has always been perceived as a stanch Republican and was appointed to be
a member of the prestigious Arizona Republican Electoral College by AZGOP
Chairman Robert Graham and signed an agreement she would cast her vote for the
nominee.
Jane Lynch, a GOP veteran from Arizona, says
she’ll likely cast her personal vote for libertarian
Gary Johnson or a write-in candidate whom I suspect would be John Kasich.
Inconceivable that Mrs. Lynch would even considering voting for Johnson a
candidate that advocates:
MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION
As president, Johnson would take marijuana off the federal government's list of controlled substances, allowing states to legalize its recreational and medicinal use. He favors taxing and regulating the marijuana business. "We need to treat drug abuse as a health issue, not a crime,'' he says. He was an early supporter of gay marriage. Johnson also supports a woman's right to have an abortion.

Imagine the shock
when she gave this interview to Politico:
“I don’t like the fact that I’m going to do this,” said Lynch, the Arizona elector, of committing her electoral vote to Trump. Lynch, who has attended eight national Republican conventions and supported Ronald Reagan over Gerald Ford in 1976, noted that there’s an increasing likelihood that Trump will lose her state to Hillary Clinton, which means a separate set of Democratic electors would be tapped instead.

“Bill Clinton did
win Arizona in 1996,” she noted. “So it’s not too far-fetched that Mrs. Clinton
might win Arizona.”
Sounds like she's rooting for a Clinton win in Arizona again.
If Mrs. Lynch
doesn’t like the fact that she will be casting her Electoral College vote for
Trump she can always resign.
