You mean the 120 million voters who chose Clinton over Trump by an almost 600,000 vote margin?
There's nothing wrong with people petitioning the Electors to switch their votes. It's Constitutional, so the right wingers need to stop whining about it. Don't like it? Start your own petition to keep Trump.
They could start a petition into election fraud to make sure all those votes were legit, me thinks plenty of them are not.

Have a proposition for you: Cut CA away from the US mainland, float her far far away and maybe we'll allow you to become your own country with Hillary as your leader. But don't come crying later.
Right. America will call you next week for your opinion. You'll get a taste of President Trump's mandate very soon.
Losing is painful. We get it. Next time don't put up such a damaged candidate.
Trump has won the election. He is President. I even root for him to do well. But I would point out he has all the skills to end up below GW and Carter. We have a new candidate for worst President since WWII.
Again I do not wish that.
But he has the right intellectual outlook and skill set.
Although, I kind of hope that they don't. Their Thanksgiving is already ruined, so let them get their hopes up for some kind of change on December 19. When they fail there and get told 'no' a second time, it will destroy their Christmas, as well.
They shouldn't mind, though, since they have had a war on Christmas for a long time.
Ahhhh, this year I'm going to say "Merry Christmas" to everyone and laugh inside.

Trump is anything but an idiot. My take is he executed a brilliant marketing plan, which is all campaigning really is. Instead of selling a used car, he's selling "vote for me's". He targeted his market, went after them hard (rust belt), and the rest as we say is history. The ultra conservatives took him too literally, and the ultra liberals just fear him. I have always wished for a businessman in Washington. I have my wish. Now we'll see what bipartisan leadership looks like, because Trump isn't a Democrat or a Republican. He's a Trump. And when he said "drain the swamp", that included both parties.
YES!!! Finally, a non supporting Trump liberal gets it. THANK YOU! Correct, correct, correct.

Liberal and Conservative are points of view, not a line in the sand to divide a nation. This petition is the biggest and saddest pile of horse crap. I generally hate people (as an anti social introvert). This is one reason why.
This level of stupidity is pretty much why I hate most people, as well.
The purpose of the electoral college was, in Alexander Hamilton's own words, to ensure that "the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
It seems he was anticipating just such an unqualified demagogue as Donald Trump. In short, this is the reason we have an electoral college. And the votes are anonymous, so if enough judges vote to preserve the union by voting their conscious, they can do so without repercussions.
Many states by law require them to vote by popular vote, and since they also represent the winning Political party, if your hanging your hopes on a Republican, voting for Clinton.. then you really have issues..

The popular vote doesn't matter. If it did, the campaigns would deploy different campaign strategies. It's certainly not fair to change the goalposts after the election is over.
Either way, they can continue wasting their time collecting signatures. And I rarely make definitive predictions, but what you are suggesting, will never happen.
