A Republican member of the Electoral College from Texas says he’s resigning so he won’t feel obligated to cast one of the state’s 38 electoral votes for Donald Trump.

The New York Daily News reports Art Sisneros previously said he was wavering on supporting Trump because the Republican “is not biblically qualified for office.” In a lengthy weekend blog post,

Sisneros said, “the best option I see at this time is to resign my position as an elector.”

Texas doesn’t require its electors to vote in accordance with the state’s election results. Texas electors meet next month to vote for president.

By state law, they can vote then on a replacement for Sisneros.
