And in the end, Hillary lost more electoral votes than Trump.
Wow.

I am a little surprised, but then again I'm not. This election was Hillary's to lose. And she lost it, big time. And she is every bit to blame for it, she and the DNC. And there are people out there still pissed enough about that, that they will go for Trump in protest of her, just as all along people were saying they were voting for Hillary in protest of Trump. We ended up with Trump, and a lot of people blame Hillary for that. I wouldn't be surprised if those EC votes didn't have something to do with that.

There are 20 others who are considering it, according to a Harvard law professor.

But seriously... can you even imagine what would happen if the EC denied Trump the presidency?

I called it accurately when you and your Harvard professor were still reading your rat intestines

Former Obama voters voted for Trump too, which has really gotta play with the alt-right mental midgets' brains. When they get done masturbating over finally winning something.

Interesting and not funny how for the electoral college decide who is elected president despite the popular vote on a national level is good, proper and valid but somehow for the electors themselves to enjoy the freedom to decide as Hamilton actually wrote (Fed. 68) and just who those electors vote for on the state level and in the final consummation of our 'democracy'...is corrupting the system and a violation.

Ridiculous. When the SCOTUS affirmed the states the power to decide all political commitments of their electors, then live with that too.

It's as if the winning side gets to pick and choose which parts of our system is legitimate and which aren't. If the electoral college was to throw this into the house of reps. then get the fuck over it...that's how that works too.

Them voting for another person is one thing, death threats is something else again.

But if they aren't going to do anything, then it's time to eliminate them as proven useless and redundant.

Stomp your feet and scream some more, maybe it will go away? Because you will never get the states that it benefits to go along with cutting their own throats.

He doesn't understand the difference between not doing anything and not doing what he wants.

It seems it's you who doesn't understand the difference.

1) hold popular vote state by state, weighted as per Amendment 12
2) hold EC vote
3) any EC member who doesn't exactly shadow #1 is dismissed and replaced by someone who does.

How is that not redundant and pointless?
