Challenging the Electoral College Vote Isn’t Futile, Though Trump Will Still Win On Monday, December 19, America has one last chance to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president — or so the most hopeful Trump opponents claim. Technically, they’re right. The Founding Fathers adopted the Electoral College to ensure that the presidency would not go to an unqualified candidate who won over the masses with his “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity,” as Alexander Hamilton put it. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/12/electoral-college-fight-matters-though-trump-will-still-win.html Trump’s victory another example of how Electoral College wins are bigger than popular vote ones For the fifth time in U.S. history, and the second time this century, a presidential candidate has won the White House while (apparently) losing the popular vote. Donald Trump won at least 279 electoral votes (306 if you include Arizona and Michigan, where he was leading as of Wednesday afternoon) to Hillary Clinton’s 228 (232 including New Hampshire, where she was ahead by a hair). But the popular vote is a near-tie, according to our tally of unofficial and, in some cases, partial returns. As of Wednesday afternoon, Clinton was slightly ahead of Trump, 59.6 million votes (47.66%) to 59.4 million (47.5%). http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/why-electoral-college-landslides-are-easier-to-win-than-popular-vote-ones/ Trump Michigan Elector: Democrats Threatened to Put a Bullet in My Head http://rightedition.com/2016/12/14/trump-michigan-elector-democrats-threatened-put-bullet-head/ Pelosi Daughter EXPLODES on FBN Host: “I’m Getting Death Threats!

Trump was speaking in Grand Rapids, Mich., as part of his “thank you” tour when he heard some chants of “lock her up” — a common refrain during his campaign events. ADVERTISEMENT “That plays great before the election — now we don't care, right?” Trump responded, according to CNN. Trump made central to his campaign a promise to go after Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of State. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/309793-trump-on-lock-her-up-calls-now-we-dont-care
