One faithless elector from Washington did change their vote to appoint an anti-Dakota Access Pipeline activist to the presidency.
Sioux Tribal leader Faith Spotted Eagle was not a candidate for presidency, however a Washington elector used his vote to bring awareness to the fight against the North Dakota pipeline by casting her name.
The Washington elector was originally slated to vote for Hillary Clinton.
North Dakota may open bridge on Highway 1806 near protest site
Former North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple says he’s met with Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault to discuss how to return the pipeline protest zone to peace.

Dalrymple says an effort will be made to reopen the highway.
The former governor left office on December 15 after not seeking re-election in August.
