Enough with this. There is no such thing as "popular vote" in the electoral college. None whatsoever. If there's any consolation, nobody won the popular vote because it didn't exist in our electoral college system!
You can say that more people voted in the electoral college election were for Hillary but it is NOT the popular vote! It means absolutely nothing because many people didn't even vote due to the electoral college system.
But according to the article, some states allow their electorates to change their votes. Hopefully not many will,
but if all the rioting continues, who knows.......
If that happened, you LITERALLY, as in 110% for real, as in like you've never seen before, have a civil war in this country and one I'd be voluntarily on the front lines of. I'd give my life in a heartbeat to stop such nonsense, as would about 100,000,000 other Americans. You don't mess with elections in this country. You just don't.
And for decades the democrats have been doing just that. They have been cheating, throwing away votes, encouraging illegals to vote, dead voters and so on. It adds up, but we looked the other way. Try and forfeit the electoral college and you'll see civil unrest you would not believe in this country.
both candidates ran their campaigns to get electoral votes, not the popular vote. Even if the electoral college got abolished tomorrow that wouldn't suddenly make Hillary the president because that is not how the election of 2016 ran
4 million left to count in CA, 700,000 left to count in WA-Hillary will take them 2-to-1
Many of the conservative Washington counties haven't been counted, so the Washington logic fails. Also, Utah.
Either way, Trump won fair and square.
