In the end, 306 electors were pledged to Donald Trump and 232 were pledged to Hillary Clinton. In the overall popular vote, which is not a factor in the Electoral College, Clinton led Trump by about 2.8 million votes.

On December 13, 2016, the states and the District of Columbia filed certificates of ascertainment with a federal government agency.

AMEN to your declaration!

ISAIAH 54:17
But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Wellllll, now, you just might wanna think about that a little bit CRZ. You reeeeally trust all those Republican Senators and Reps.??? Why do you think the Dems are trying to get it put into the House? They got an awful lot of money from donors and they can go shopping for a few dozen Republican Senators and representatives. Ever hear of people like McCain and Gramham just to mention a couple. Nooooo, I’m going to put my money on the electors. I bet you there’s some good old American people there . I trust them before I trust those two timing RINO traitors in Congress.

WELL NOW Eagle..you had better educate yourself on the 12 amendment.

It is the House of Representative who decide a hung election for the POTUS. The Senate has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

The only time the Senate is involved is when they count the electoral ballots after the election.

So EFFN McCain and Linda havent a GD thing to do with it.

You are so right CRZ I was referring to the fact that already we’re seeing pushback from the Senate so there is evidence( specifically comments about not exactly going along with Trump’s tax rollback etc.) that they’re not just all going to jump on the Trump train and ride happily along. The same thing can happen if the vote goes to the House of Representatives. Can you really be sure that none of those Representatives will be bought off. The Democrats are never short of money, their’s or Soro’s. So far the electors have only been threatened with death. There are no reports of bribes. I’d rather take my chances on the electors Thank you, I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear, trying to short-write but thanks for your reply. Guess I thought your comment “who gives a rip” meant that you really weren’t worried about it going to the House. Me?I think I get a little worried if it goes to the House. Ever hear of Ryan? I don’t trust him. We worked hard to get him unseated, didn’t work and Wisconsin let us down. We’re stuck with him. I don’t trust him at all.

You can probably narrow this down to Just four counties, Los Angeles and Orange county, and San Francisco and Oakland county.

The ‘leaders’ of the havenots etc said it was a Racist act because their people were dumb enough to believe it...

Indeed, that is the very stunt that forced the RNC to sign a consent order denying them the right to challenge election results in minority precincts or conduct any kind of campaign effort which might be construed as an attempt to limit the minority vote.

Changing the name is what makes it funny....

= = = = = = = = = = =

OH...my 'speed reading' and knowing what it should be, caused me to 'miss' electrical.......

but I did bracket 'funny' so it was somewhat of a facetious & sarcastic response...

I do recall. First WS I can remember. I believe it was/is the greatest scoring difference ever in favor of the losing team.

“Refusal or failure to vote for the candidates for president and vice-president appearing on the Michigan ballot of the political party which nominated the elector constitutes a resignation from the office of elector, his vote shall not be recorded and the remaining electors shall forthwith fill the vacancy,”

Cleverly worded law, Texas could use a similar one.
