Trump Seals Electoral College Victory
The Hill ^ | 12/19/16 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 12/19/2016 2:33:32 PM PST by conservativepoet

Electoral College members across the nation voted to affirm President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Monday, as liberal attempts to sway Republican electors to abandon Trump fizzled.

Republican electors stayed loyal to their candidate, keeping Trump well above the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to secure the nomination.

Texas' 36 electoral votes for Trump pushed him over the edge at around 4:30 Central Time, even though two rogue electors' defections deprived Trump of one of those votes. That gave Trump 304 total electoral votes.

And once again, California is left out of the equation as superfluous. Like the state as a whole.

California deserves to be left out of the vast majority of equations. They have earned that distinction and honor.

The "liberal attempts to sway Republican electors to abandon Trump fizzled. "

It never "fizzled" it never had life at all, just a wet dream in lib minds.

Now the only chance they have left to play games is on Jan 6 when crazy uncle joe gets his chance to thumb his nose at the constitution.

P.S. The hildabeast had more unfaithful electors...where the headlines on that???

I’m guessing that the reporter was not a math major.
