Electoral College Results

These results are taken from each state's Certificate of Vote. They will become available as the Certificates of Vote are received and verified for completeness and accuracy. If you don't see results for your state yet, check back later. Certificates of Vote will not be available until sometime after the Electors meet and vote on December 19, 2016.

ha, beat me to it, we really need them these days

And Oh BTW, the electoral SYSTEM cannot be put on any “chopping block” short of a constitutional amendment

The one thing that scares me is hearing about states that are talking about uniting with other states to pledge their EV's to the national popular vote winner rather than to the candidate that wins their state. I think this would be a constitutional way of circumventing the original intent of the electoral process.

But what will the media find to tslk sbout over and over and over?

No doubt that faithless elector from Texas will be lionized and praised ad infinitum. Probably appear on "The View", walking on stage to thunderous applause for his "courage", and get to sit next to Whoopie.

[SaxxonWoods]

OK, it’s getting boring. No votes coming in.

[Buckeye McFrog]

That “pledge our EV’s to the popular vote winner” will last until the day it benefits the Republican.

C'mon in! They're serving hot cocoa!

I remember bucking bales of hay in Wyoming. I would stand one up with the hook to knee it onto the wagon and there might be a live li’l prairie rattler caught in the twine.
Same thing here.

I may have to tutn off TV news again...I did last week except for Fox and Friends and Tucker Carlson.

The whiny dim losers are no longer entertaining and all this constant droning on about electors revolting silly.
I do feel bad for the electors who were threatened and harassed.

I missed the statement from Hillary about how deplorable the threats are and to stop it now./s

Probably ragging him about the “vote often” part of “vote early and often” from the Chicago & the Daley ‘machine’ quote.

[John Robinson]

Joke reference to Chicago politics most likely. Marovitz does have some shady dealings in his past, at least a SEC charge of insider trading, pretty much typical Chicago Democrat.

[MEG33]

Thank heavens I don’t watch The View.

[Freedumb]

Toldyou, no idea what the joke was about regarding William Marovitz, but like all other Chicago Dems he is a crook:

Of course the only exception to the crooked Chicago Dems is our current Dear Leader who arose out of whorehouse of Chicago politics a spotless and unsoiled virgin.

Here’s a listing by state of what time the electors meet and if faithless electors are allowed.

I’m watching C-Span and feel as if I’m watching CNN! Washington Post National Politics Reporter reporting plus they showed an anti-Trump video. Also, a female Colorade Democrat was interviewed expressing her disdain for Donald Trump because “he has connections to Russia.”

Now there’s another phone in comment condemning Donald Trump because “he inherited a business from his father.”

Okay...I’m switching channels! I thought C-Span would give an update on the electoral college. Not so! Now Sean Sullivan (Wash. Post) on again saying Trump should not be elected.

I suspect this scenario would never take place. A state government would be idiotic to ever follow through on this sort of "pledge," because it means no presidential candidate ever has a reason to campaign in that state again.

As someone else pointed out on another thread, no state would ever be obligated to follow through on this stupid pledge anyway. If a candidate won the popular vote overall but lost the vote in a certain state, there is nothing that would prevent that state from passing a law after Election Day and before the Electoral College vote to overturn its "pledge."

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Looks like a Clinton elector flipped to Bernie in Maine.

[toldyou]

Oh wow!

[epluribus_2]

That would also be a way of abandoning their Statehood and the will of their citizens. Governor should send the Guard to stop such treasonous acts.
