New Delhi: A petition urging the Electoral College to reject Donald Trump as the next President of the United States has become the most popular in the history of Change.org, a site that mobilizes support for petitions through e-signatures.
Over 4.6 million people have signed the petition titled "Make Hillary Clinton President", which calls on the Electoral College to elect the Democratic presidential candidate over Trump when it officially votes on December 19.
The petition argues that since Clinton won the popular vote in the November 8 election by a margin of 2 million ballots, she should be the President. It also dismisses Trump as unfit to be the next US Commander in Chief.
"Mr Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic," the petition states.
Seen as a last hope for Clinton supporters, the petition has been endorsed by a number of celebrities.
If you feel scared about the current state of American politics and Whitehouse sign this petition: https://t.co/2K88hLD8hn

Filed by social activist Daniel Brezenoff, the petition is an unconventional way of altering the result of a US election. But then again, nothing about the 2016 presidential race has been conventional.
"This petition is unprecedented, but Donald Trump is an unprecedented danger to the Constitution. He is the kind of president our Founding Fathers warned us about," Brezenoff wrote in his appeal.
The petition has garnered over two million more votes than the next largest campaign on the site, which called for an end to an infamous dog meat festival in China.
On November 8, Trump swept the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes to Clinton's 232. But the petition puts forward that electors in 14 states can change their minds and vote for Clinton without facing any legal penalty.
The Electoral College system requires that representatives of each state cast ballots to decide who will actually become the new President. Members of the college are supposed to vote for whoever won their state, but could theoretically change their mind.
Sorry, libtards but America is going to be great again. Why don’t you idiots just hide in your safe places for the next four years?
Clinton’s vote count - est. 4 million illegal votes - est. 4 million dead people votes = huge popular vote loss (if one counts only non-vote fraud ballots).
Who gives a sh*t....
Grow the F__k up and quit making yourselves look even stupider.
I would like to invite him to Hawaii. Swim here ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Denial is getting deep. Time to don the hip waders.
One to demand that Obama not pardon her for what has come out so far would beat this one hands down.
JMHo
I think that should be the next 8 years should PRESIDENT TRUMP chose to do so.
Wow. That ranks right up there in importance as being the tallest midget in Norway.
Try it.
Blood will be shed.
I hope Trump runs these idiots out of the country. We spent 8 years watching Obama get his way by ignoring the law and congress so I think it is fare play for our side to do the same. Start by putting Limbaugh the head of the FCC, shutting down the UN, and replacing everyone in the State Department with loyal patriotic conservatives.
As they say in the Ukraine, toughshitsky.
From the plains of Shinar, God, in wisdom, dispersed the masses. Gave them different languages, and different mores.
Nimrod, Son of Satan, in anger and spite, rode out to regroup all the people back under one entity.
Globalists, libtards, socialists, communists, whathaveyou, collectivists, all are nothing more than children of Mr. Stitch.
Perhaps I’ve missed something. Someone more intelligent and educated than me should correct my misunderstanding of history.
Thank you.
Nah...she should be named as President of the National Commode Cleaning Association.
Man up, snowflakes. Put away your hot cocoa and safety pins...it’s MAGA time!
