Should we eliminate the electoral college??

What of the sanders vote?

I think that was at the state level. Presumably, HRC gained the necessary majority for the delegation as a whole to vote for her.

4.5 million people voted for President Trump in California but he gets NONE of the states electoral votes??!?????!!..... where do I file the complaint?

Oh wait, that's how it's supposed to work, Nevermind.

Maine hasn't officially registered yet.

Because of the rise of the "no information voter"...this nonsense will have to be defeated again.

So far, all defectors have been from Clinton.

4 WA (successful)
1 MN (attempted)
1 ME (attempted)
1 CO (attempted)

The votes in WA: 3 votes Colin Powell, 1 for "Faith Spotted Eagle"

So, with 42 states in:

256 TRUMP
143 CLINTON
3 COLIN POWELL
1 FAITH SPOTTED EAGLE

It's funny how the media outlets don't want to say how many he actually got. The ones i've seen so far only say that the electors gave Trump the 270 votes needed to win like he just barely squeaked it out instead of winning the EC decisively but they have no problem plastering Hillary's popular vote totals all over the place like it means something.

Hilary having more faithless electors than Trump was absolutely hilarious. Brought a tiny bit of joy to my freezing day.

Well...the protestors were demanding they vote their consciences, so.....

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Remember when Michael Moore offered to pay the fines of "faithless electors"? Is that inciting criminal activity? Sounds like a bribe.

Also, is he now going to pay the fines of Clinton's faithless?

recount: Hillary loses votes

electors vote: Hillary loses votes



Mark Levin had Billy Cunningham filling in tonight. He said in 2018 Dems have 12 senate seats they have to defend in states that went for Trump. Could be a big tidal wave in 2020 if Trump does what he said and it works

Exactly, I can appreciate irony wherever it shows up. It's just that usually 7 people in a thread beat me to any criticism of democrats and I bow out.

Jeez. It ain't like no one will figure it out.

The NYT goes with the lazy "slavery" argument against the EC

It's time to end the Electoral College
