Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton confirmed that New York voters who vote Democrat would technically be voting for her, along with 28 others who will serve as presidential electors.
Clinton will get to participate when electors submit their votes on Dec. 14.
The last time New York voted for a Republican was in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan won 49 states.
Clinton told SiriusXM’s “Signal Boost” show:
“I’m an elector, so I’m pretty sure I’ll get to vote for Joe and Kamala in New York, so that’s pretty exciting."
Clinton is not the only prominent Democrat on this year’s list of electors, according to the New York Board of Election records.

Former President Bill Clinton is also an elector.
Other electors include New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Attorney General Letitia James.
Clinton is Confident Joe Biden will win New York, but later expressed concern the election results will not be so clear on Election Day.
“I am worried that we’re not going to have a final conclusion though for a couple of days, if not longer,” she said.

The former Secretary of State added she has been talking to attorneys with the Biden campaign and independent lawyers who are “preparing for every scenario you can imagine.”

After the Supreme Court refused to consider Republicans' challenge of a Pennsylvania court ruling, which allowed ballots to be accepted several days after the election, a clear winner on that day became less likely.
Earlier this week, Clinton said the thought of Trump winning next month's election "make me sick to my stomach."
"It makes me literally sick to my stomach to think that we'd have four more years of this abuse and destruction of our institutions," Clinton blasted.
"And damaging of our norms and our values."
Clinton said she still could not understand why she lost the 2016 election.
“No, there was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level."
"We still don’t know what really happened," Clinton said.
