“A planned revolt among electors in the Electoral College has fizzled, sending President-elect Donald Trump to a victory far more mundane than his opponents had hoped for.” (from http://hudsonvalley.news12.com/news/revolt-fizzles-as-trump-easily-wins-electoral-college-vote-1.12781935).  My emphasis.  Who did this ‘planning’?  The Electors?  No.  Others were pushing and agitating for electors to change their vote.  This is not ‘planning’.  AP betrays its Democratic Party leanings . . . again.

I also think the use of ‘mundane’ is incorrect.  Mundane means lacking interest or excitement; dull.  So the ‘fizzled’ revolt sent Trump to a duller victory than his opponents had hoped for.  Does this mean the opponents wanted a thriller?  A too-close-to-call vote?  It needs editing.
