Electoral College It's over... all the votes have been counted with an Electoral College Landslide: Donald Trump is Projected To Win 306 Electoral Votes on December 19. A delusional few are trying to get members of the U.S. Electoral College to change their vote, arguing that Clinton should be the next president because 60.9 Americans voted for her, compared to 60.3 million for Trump. It won't happen. Many electors are bound by law to vote as their state has instructed them, furthermore those electors are the party bosses who want to retain their positions within the party and state governments. If you think someone like 6 term Republican Governor Terry Branstad is going to change his mind and go for Crooked Hillary you need serious psychological assistance. No amount of rioting, looting and burning will change that. The Electoral College is part of the Constitution and is composed of 538 members, with each state and the District of Columbia having one member, or electorate, for every senator or House lawmaker. It is there to "safeguard the country from a dangerous president" which in my view it is doing. A website Change.org which as of Saturday has about 3 million signatures espouses that some states don’t require their electorates to vote for the presidential nominee who had the most votes in their state; “their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine,” the organizers write. “We can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!” IF THAT IS NOT SAFEGUARDING THE COUNTRY FROM A DANGEROUS ELEMENT OR PRESIDENT then I am Mickey Mouse! Many of us stood up against those moneyed elitists for that very reason that the office of the president was not up for sale with no amount of outside BRIBERY absconding it. There are strong indications the ensuing riots are planned and funded events NOT spontaneous indignation. Come January 21, 2017 the day after Trump takes the oath of office let those "discontented elements" riot ..... water cannons soaking their asses on a cold January day should quench the fires of dysphoria. |

Electing by "POPULAR VOTE" requires an amendment to the constitution which is a very long and tedious process. Also that would NEVER Fly without a photo voter ID to prove that person casting a ballot IS an American CITIZEN qualified to vote....

Trump at no point called upon us to riot. Most of us freely admit we would go to the streets voluntarily. They've had their little show.... IF Obama doesn't shutthem down then Trump people will start to end them.

It is in Article II of the Constitution and Amendments 12 and 20 that have refined the process. Each state decides how their electoral votes are handled, and 48 have chosen that the winner of the popular vote for that state receives all of the votes. Only Maine and Nebraska differ in that the popular vote gets 2 votes with the remainder divided based upon the districts. This year is only the second time that one of these states has divided their electoral vote, Maine. This was instituted by the Founding Fathers to ensure an equal Republic government, not a dirty democracy. Perfect? No. This is the second time in the past 5 elections that the winner of the popular vote has not carried the election. If you take California out of the equation for the popular vote, as an example, then Hillary's 600K popular vote win turns to a 2.4M Trump win. As for the way the electoral was originally meant to be, Trump would be President and Hillary Vice President. That's a scary thought.

Personally, like you, a taxpaying Iowan, I was happy to hear that one of our state representative is hoping to introduce a "suck it up buttercup" bill to claw back school tax dollars spent on cry baby reaction to the election results

The electoral college is the only way until we have a system to make sure only valid people are voting. Need to purge voting rolls of all dead people. Get rid of non citizens on the voting rolls. Need picure id's to verify that the person is an eligible voter. After all picure id's are needed in a lot of activities today to prevent fraud.

It is more of an explanation for our Canadian Collogues and those illiterate protestor types who don't have a clue what it takes to change it.

That requires an amendment to the constitution and ratification by 2/3's of the states... not an easy task nor would it ever fly without a valid voter ID

Take a close look at the people who are protesting and you'll see it's the young, the non-white, and the gay...all the people Trump DIDN"T appeal to. His appeal was basically white, older, non-educated men. Also, if you've seen his transition team, you'd be aware that many of them have been staunch anti-gay people. That doesn't bode well for the advances in equality gays have made in the past few years. No wonder people are afraid.

Ignorance runs rampant on social media thanks to shows like "the View" where idiots without any education or credentials spout off any crap that comes to mind.... even though they all said they were moving to Canada... I am waiting to see the show broadcast from Winnipeg.

There were since the days of our founding fathers only 157 "faithless electors" of those the vast majority ended their political careers with their il-conceived venture.
