MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Brian Westrate laughed when asked if anyone had tried to convince him not to cast his Electoral College vote for president-elect Donald Trump.

Westrate is one of 10 Republican Party insiders selected to serve as electors, the people who will cast ballots across the country Monday for Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton. Electors have been under pressure from Trump opponents to not cast their ballots for him, even if he won the state.

"Let me give you the total as of right now," Westrate said early last week. "48,324 emails about my role as elector, some have been for Mr. Trump and some have been asking me to maintain my role and honor."

The small-business owner and GOP district chairman in Fall Creek, Wisconsin, said he also got about 100 letters or postcards, from all 50 states, and 30 phone calls.

"I have a Twitter debate with a former porn star from California asking me to change my vote," said Westrate, a Republican activist from Eau Claire. "It's been fascinating."

Westrate said he isn't budging, and neither are any of the other Republican electors in Wisconsin who spoke to The Associated Press. Six of the 10 electors spoke with AP about their intentions while the other five did not respond to phone or email messages.

But elector Brad Courtney, chairman of the Republican Party, insisted that all of them would be proudly sticking with Trump.

"Wisconsin voters spoke loud and clear and I intend to honor their decision," Courtney said. "All of us will be doing the same."

Democratic members of the Electoral College trying to stop Trump from becoming president have dubbed themselves "Hamilton Electors" and are trying to convince electors from both parties to unite behind another Republican.

It takes 270 electoral votes to make a president. Trump won enough states to total 306 electoral votes. He would need to see three dozen fall away for him to lose his majority. Only one Republican elector nationwide told AP he won't vote for Trump.

Electors meeting in all 50 states on Monday are pledged to candidates but allowed to change their votes, though they almost never do. Congress will count their ballots on Jan. 6 and announce the winner.

The Wisconsin electors will cast their ballots at a public meeting at noon Monday in the state Capitol. Trump narrowly defeated Clinton by less than a percentage point, the first time a Republican presidential candidate has carried Wisconsin since 1984, giving him all 10 electoral votes. Republicans are getting their first chance in 32 years to cast Wisconsin's electoral votes for president and expressed pride and excitement when asked about their intentions.

"Everybody's on the same page," said longtime Republican activist and elector Mary Buestrin. "We're going to vote for Trump."

Buestrin, a national committee member from River Hills, said she got about 100 letters, only one pro-Trump. She's not been persuaded by Trump opponents.

"People need to get over this and accept the fact that Donald Trump won instead of walking around with long faces and asking for recounts," Buestrin said.

Elector Bill Berglund, a longtime Republican activist from Sturgeon Bay, said the effort feels like Clinton backers are being sore losers.

"I think it's a bunch of foolishness," Berglund said. "We weren't happy when Barack Obama was elected either time. We didn't send out letters. We didn't protest in the streets. We didn't give people threats and call them names. We accepted the fact and looked forward to the next election and maybe we can win, which is completely the opposite of what's happening now."
